From 12-2-11

Thanks to all of you who helped make the Holiday Fair a success! There were some big changes this year. The whole event was in the gym and there was a silent, as opposed to live, auction. What did you think? Want to go back to the old format?
    Today we send out report cards and I hope you and your child have a chance to talk about strategies for growth over the next trimester.
    This week, I have set aside Tuesday - Friday for parent conferences. I am free from 3:30 until 5:30. Please call Mrs Andrews to set up an appointment. On the back of this paper, I have included some questions you might want answered.
    On January 7th, the 5th and 6th grade is sponsoring the BES breakfast. Proceeds will go to the BES fire department. Next week I will send out a list of food along with a schedule.
    The 6th grade math students are working on geometry proofs. We will start uploading them to the blog this week. You can see a sample up there now.
    In science, we will continue to learn about molecules and matter; this week’s spelling is a multi-unit review; and in ELA, we are finishing up our writing projects.
    Don’t forget to call Mrs. Andrews to set up a conference.
