Classroom Spelling Bee champ and Christmas Party Pics

Congratulations to our classroom Spelling Bee champ, Lexi Chubon.  She did very well in the school Spelling Bee and made it through several difficult words before missing "flirtatious".  Her classmates and I are so proud of her!
 
 
Thank you to the parents who helped out at the Christmas party.  We had a great time!
 
 
 
 
 

 
That morning the kids enjoyed hot cocoa and a donut for breakfast.  That was plenty of sugar to start off the day!  :))
 

 
I hope that you and your families have a very special and Merry Christmas!!

Toy Drive

At the beginning of the year, our class made a list of how we could "pay it forward" and the toy drive our Counselor Advisory Team is holding is a wonderful way to share with others.  While you are out shopping this weekend, please consider buying a toy that your child can bring to school next week.  The unwrapped toys can be placed in the box near the front of the school.

The AR goal for this month is 8 points.  A few students have already met the goal....hooray!!

We will need your kiddos to bring back their holiday hat next week.  We have to have picture retakes of all the 5th graders.  We are making something special for all of you parents!

On the morning of our holiday party, we will be having hot chocolate in our classroom!  YUMMM.  The students will need to bring a coffee mug for their hot chocolate.  Please wrap it up well in the backpack so it doesn't get broken.

Speaking of our party, older siblings will not be allowed to be at the party.  We know they are excited about returning to Dickinson to see their former teachers, but Mrs. Mumphord and Mrs. Miles have stated that the party is for our current students.  If you have a nonschool age child, he/she is allowed to come.

Hopefully, your child has told you about Jingle, our elf on the shelf.  She has only gotten mischievous once!  The students love coming in every morning to see what she is doing!  Many of the kids tell me everyday what their elf has done at their houses!  I wish there was elf on the shelf when my daughter, Meredith was little.  I would have had so much fun!!!!!!!!
