Hello Passengers,

Welcome to Polar Expréss day!  Please come in quickly, wash your hands and move your stick to bringing!  If we want to watch the whole movie, we need to begin soon!  While you are waiting, put the finishing touches on your Santa CSI packer.  I am guessing that by now many of you have solved the mystery?!  If you're done, this is a good time to do a desk tidy!

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Happy Holly Hanging,

Today will be a fun, spirited celebration of the holidays.  I look forward to attending Holly Hanging with you!  We will board the buses at approximately 9:10.  Please wash your hands and order your lunch.

On your desk, you will find a new poem. Please read through it a few times.  You should also read last week's poem in case you get chosen to perform that today.

Finally, please pick up your notebook from the round table.  I'd like you to continue to work on long division by completing p. 285-286.  You should choose the division method that you know best.  Please compete this work in your math log.

Happy Wednesday!

Are you thinking about what you are going to write about later?  I hope so... Please order your lunch and wash your hands.  Next, you should update your reading status.  If you have finished any books, this is a good time to add those to your list of books read.  Also, if you need to shop for more non-fiction books, please do so now.

Once your reading life is under control, please pull out page 273 from your Math book.  Can you start thinking about what to do with the remainder on questions 11-13?  We will work together on this shortly.
