A Sign-up Genius was sent out on Monday for our Holiday Luncheon. I am also requesting $3 from each student by 12/15 (Venmo or cash) to purchase pizza for lunch on the afternoon of December 20th. Thank you so much for making this a special time for your child!
Feeling crafty? I am looking for 2 or 3 parent volunteers that would be interested in providing a holiday craft to work on with students during our craft rotation on December 20th. I plan to have an ornament making station for my block. Crafts would need to be completed in 30 minutes to get through all rotations and volunteers would need to provide all materials. Let me know if you are interested! I appreciate your help BIG time!
Our class voted on the theme of “Saxon Sweet Treats” for our tree in the Festival of Trees PTAO event. Please help make this happen! We have a mini tree we need to decorate. Here are a few ideas to help make our class tree a success:
Thank you for your help! All items are due by Monday, 12/12. Fingers crossed one of our students will be a winner of one of these awesome trees!

We are halfway through 2nd quarter. Can you believe it?! Did you check your child’s interim report on HAC? Are they 50% or more toward their A.R. goal with a minimum of 85% accuracy? If not, I have some ideas of what you can do over break! 😉

Thank you for optimistic and thoughtful this week!
Important Dates:

Reminders:
Check HAC and your child’s progress on A.R. weekly. Help hold them accountable for their class grades, A.R. points, and percentage correct in A.R. Making education a priority in your home will have a positive impact on their academic career. No homework on the weekends – enjoy this beautiful weather!
Please double check your child’s math homework to make sure they are on the right track. The homework is a review of concepts we have gone over in class – it will not be anything new. If they are really stuck on a problem, skip it and I will go over it in the morning. I appreciate your help!

Our Booth: Face Painting
For our booth: Our incredible room parent, Amber Halcrow, has HIRED a face painter! This means no one will need to volunteer for time slots or donate prizes! WOO HOO! A HUGE thank you to her for organizing our booth. Please send any monetary donations to help her pay for the face painter in an envelope with her name written on it.
Don’t forget iknowit is a GREAT resource to use at home to practice multiplication facts. If your child is struggling with division homework, I would encourage you to help them memorize their multiplication facts. I have added “multiplication fluency” to their individual assignments on iknowit. Students know username and password. The link for this program can be found on the R.B. Hunt student links page.
