Week of Dec 17

Thompson Class News Week of Dec. 17, 2012

There’s so much happening this week.  We had Reading CBA this morning and tomorrow we will have our Math CBA.  Early release this week on both Thursday and Friday, at 11:55.  Our class party starts at 10:15.  I need about 4 or 5 parents to help run games/stations I have for the kids.  If you are able to come please let me know.  Also, if you’re interested we will be doing the chapter book exchange.  Just send a book wrapped to stick under the tree.  Those that bring a book will go home with one.  

In light of recent events I wanted to let you know how precious your child is to me and that the staff of Galloway goes to great lengths to keep them safe each day. If I don’t get a chance to see you or speak with you before, have a Merry Christmas!  NO HOMEWORK this week!

Week of Dec. 10

I had a wonderful weekend, Preston had his 12th birthday and Johnny Manziel won the Heisman.  We have a very busy couple of weeks leading up to our Christmas break.  Remember to bring candy bars and mugs by Wednesday if you haven't already.  I've had quite a few green party letters returned. YES!      We still need a few drinks some chips/fruit/cupcakes if you haven't already committed to bringing something.  Also don't forget your three dollars if you haven't already paid.  I mentioned in one of my recent letters that we will have a book exchange.  Know that this is not mandatory, but wanted to offer it for the kids that chose to participate.  Just bring a wrapped chapter book the day of the party and we'll exchange them!  Next week we have our 6 weeks CBAs.  Yes it's another Six weeks with only 5 weeks.  We have Reading Monday and Math Tuesday, make sure they sleep and eat well!  We've continued to have results higher than the district average and I know it's all the help they get from you at home! Our class party will begin 10:15 Friday the 21st. We'd love to have you!

Week of Dec. 3

Thompson Class News Week of Dec 3

Three short weeks until the end of our six weeks and until Christmas break.  We will be visiting the library for Twelve Days of Christmas.  One of the days’ crafts require a candy bar.  Mrs. Sadler has assured me any candy bar would work.  If you could send one with your student by the end of the week it would be a big help.  One candy bar is not so pricey, having to buy 750 is a bear!  Progress reports will go home this week, as well as Christmas party letters.  Our math carnival is this Thursday from 6-7:30.  Hope you can make it!
