Mystery Book Projects

About 2 weeks ago, I sent home a Mystery Book assignment.  Your student should have the book read by now and should be working on the project.  I sent a packet home that has all of the directions and an explanation of how it will be scored.  The project is due Wednesday, Jan 23rd.  My thought is that the 3 day weekend might provide some extra time to work on it.  I will send progress reports home after the projects are turned in. This is part of their reading and communication grades.  Again, contact me if you have any questions.  Your student can certainly bring it in on Tuesday if it is finished.

Read At Home Celebration

Our six week "Read At Home Celebration" started this week.  I am pleased to say that we have 100% of the class participating!  That is a first!  As you know, part of our weekly homework is the Reading Log.  Please don't feel like you need to fill both out during this six weeks.  You can simply use the calendar that was sent home.  Just let me know somehow on Mondays that the reading was completed for that week.  You can write a note in the planner or keep the calendar in the homework folder.  Your student will still get  a Hawks Pride slip for completing it each week. Let me know if you have any questions!

Silent Auction Basket for the Carnival

Hallett Elementary will have a school carnival on Feb 2nd.  Our PTSO has asked every class to provide a basket for the Silent Auction that is part of the carnival.  Our class is partnering with Mr. John's class to create a Mexican Themed Food/Kitchen basket.  I sent home a list of possible ideas to donate.  If you need another list, just let me know.  We appreciate any help you can give with donations to our basket. :)
