Weekly Update December 14

Dear Parents,

Only one week left before a well-deserved break. We are going to be wrapping up a few things this week as well as prepare for the Semester Showcase scheduled for this Thursday evening. On Wednesday, we are going to be taking two tests. The first will be a grammar test and the second will be a math test covering algebra and function tables.  I also want to inform you that there is a Scholastic Book Faire scheduled to be held Monday through Thursday in the multi-purpose room.  Scholastic provides an excellent array of books for all reading levels at reasonable prices.  The book faire will be open until 5:00 each afternoon.  This is a great opportunity to purchase those last minute Christmas gifts.

On Thursday evening we have our Semester Showcase starting at 6:00. We would like the students to arrive at 5:30, as we will be singing along with the 5^th grade class as guests arrive prior to the performance beginning. Our students will also preform a selection of songs on their recorders during the performance. This event is not required, but it would be nice to see as many students, parents and family in attendance as possible. If a student does attend we ask that parent stay to watch the performance. (Please do not drop off and leave.)

On Friday, we are going to celebrate the end of the quarter. If you would be willing to provide food, beverages, etc. for our class celebration please email me. If you would like to help organize this event please let me know and I will send you the names and email addresses of those who have offered to help.

Finally, I would like to wish everyone a very happy, restful, and peaceful holiday and hope that you are able to spend time with family and friends and most of all relax. I will see you in the New Year!

Mr. Williams

Hello Everyone,

I just got word that school is school today. Please be safe and I will see you all tomorrow. )

Hi All,

I'm sorry for the late notice, but since our authorizing school district (OCESD) has decided to close today, we will also close school today, just to be safe.

We want you and your child(ren) to be safe, so we will follow this cautious path.

We will plan to see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Week of December 7th Update

Dear Parents,

I hope you have been enjoying this much-needed rain and preparing yourself for the upcoming holiday season.

Your students will be completing their algebra unit with a math test the beginning of next week.  We will also be concluding our mini science research project by next week in which the students have been engaged in learning how to use their iPads effectively, using Google software and other resources and applications to assist them in their research.  They have learned how to upload pictures, share documents, among other useful tools to help prepare them for larger projects scheduled as the school year progresses.  The students have been excited to learn that an iPad is not just for games but a useful educational tool to them.

Reminder of upcoming events:

Tuesday, December 9^th – Blueberry Twist is providing lunch for all students.

Wednesday, December 10^th – Blueberry Twist Dinner Benefit.

Thursday, December 18^th – First Semester Showcase; 6:00 pm at the Nazarene Church.  Our class will be performing several songs on their recorders and singing a selection of Christmas Carols.

Check These Videos Out

Hello Everyone-
First off I am sorry these are coming up later then I said. I did not get out of school until late and am just getting home. Each video takes about 20 minutes to do so it will take me some time to get all three videos up. They will come up one at a time as I am working on them. If you can finish watching them all tonight I will give you some time in class tomorrow to watch them as well.
