December 5-9

Mill Creek is participating in a food drive. If you would like to participate in the "Compassion" virtue this month and send in an item, we are asking for peanut butter, jams, and cereals. Of course, any canned food item will be accepted.

Please send in one gently used book for our Christmas gift exchange. It needs to be wrapped with your child's name on the tag.

Homework this week will be focusing on fluency and sight words. Please practice 1 minute timed reads every night. Review sight words every night. All assessments for this semester need to be done by next Friday, so this additional practice will be beneficial to your child's grade. Spelling test will be on Friday this week. Our focus is on the silent e rule. Remind your child about the e telling the vowel to say its name.

If you would like to help plan or donate an item for our Christmas party on the 21st, please let me know.

This is a busy and exciting time of the year for the children (and myself!). Please remind your child that when they are in class it is a time for learning. Our classroom has had many disruptive behaviors since Thanksgiving break and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to get through each days lessons. Sometimes a simple reminder from home can make a difference. Thanks for your support.
