Lively Learning

Dear Parents:

      Lively learning continues to take place in my class despite the approaching holidays.  My class has been learning and enjoying many new activities.  Fourth grade language arts class has been working on readers' theater as well as working on writing stories on a weekly basis in addition to their Language! program.  Fifth grade class has been working on research, note taking, and writing informational papers as well as continuing their Language! program.  In fact, fifth grade will complete their first book of Language by holiday time.  Needless to say, they have been busy too.

      The work continues, and the standards are being learned.  Keep reinforcing school work by checking to see if your child completes homework that has been assigned.  There will be a few more tests to be completed before the winter break.  I know that the holidays are sometimes hectic, and schedules are not always the same with all the shopping and preparation; however, please try to keep things as consistent as possible for a while yet.  We will be working to learn new things until winter vacation begins.  Getting into the holiday spirit a bit too soon often hinders the grades at this time of the year.

Reminder:  Winter Holiday Parties are on Dec 20, 2006, the Wednesday before the holidays.

Also, remember as always, if you have any questions, feel free to email me about any concerns you may have (gail.robertson@cobbk12.org).
