Hello parents,

We will finish our unit on animal defenses and research this week.  Students will present their products from the choice boards they were provided at the beginning of November.  The projects will be displayed outside of our classroom on the walls.

We are continuing our work in multiplication.  Through the homework and during class, I have been providing the students with math review that is aligned to our assessments.  

Writing
We are continuing to work on developing our opinion writing.

Social Studies
We will finish up the American Revolution next week.

Assessments:
Friday, December 7- Multiplication Quiz 
The quiz will be over the standard algorithm and partial products.  Students will need to know how to multiply 1 digit by multi-digits and two digits by two digits.  

Announcements
We will root for our two spelling bee finalists, Sean S. and Taylor Y., on December 7.  We are very proud of our classmates!!!

Please mark your calendars for our classroom holiday celebration on December 19 from 10am-11:30am.  More information will be sent in the upcoming week.  

From the Nurse's Station...
Hello parents!

As flu season approaches, we need your help to make sure we keep our kiddos healthy and safe. Here are some important reminders regarding medication procedures and guidelines for staying home/coming to school:

Medication must be brought to the front office or school clinic by the parent/guardian except as otherwise permitted. An “Authorization to Give Medication” Form JGCD-2 must be completed and filed with the School Clinic. Medications must be in original containers with label. The link to the form can be found here http://www.cobbk12.org/centraloffice/studentsupport/schoolhealth/medicine.aspx . Even cough drops are considered medication and must be administered by district guidelines.


Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school nurse with any questions or concerns regarding medications at school. Thank you for taking part in keeping our students healthy and safe!
