Chili Cook-Off – November 16

Good Evening! I trust you all had a wonderful spring break.  Your kids did amazingly well today considering the difficulty we all have getting back into the swing of things.

Chili-Cook-Off-Flyer

I’m putting out a call for volunteers to help our class prepare one (or more) pots of chili for the final fundraiser before our 6th grade students leave for Alliance Redwoods.   Our chili cook off is a chance for you to let your favorite chili recipe shine, while competing for prizes and supporting our 6th grade class.  You do not have to be the parent of a 6th grader to help out.  We would love any and all volunteers.  If you are interested in sharing a recipe, large crock-pot, cooking with the kids or donating items to prepare a pot of chili, please let me know as soon as possible.   This is a great way to get in your final volunteer hours before the end of the school year.

I would like to try and have two pots of chili from our class: a traditional recipe and a vegetarian/gluten free offering for our veggie friends.

The Chili Cook-Off is next Thursday, April 16 at 6pm.  We will be preparing the chili in class Thursday afternoon, then tasting it during the cook-off.

Thanks for supporting our school!  We are so much more with everyone’s help!

6th Grade See’s Candy Fundraising Committee

Good Morning.

If any of your 6th grade children are on the See’s Candy Committee, we will be sorting and distributing candy orders Monday, February 9 after school.  Last year this took about an hour and a half with just a few volunteers.   This is the perfect opportunity for your kids to get their required volunteer hours.

Thanks!

 

It’s Nearly December?!?!

I know I say it often, but I can’t believe this school year is flying by so quickly!  Several of your children have commented that they can’t believe the year is moving so quickly.  If they think it is speeding by, it must be true!

I hope you all have had a peaceful and relaxing Thanksgiving week.  I was able to get some much needed (minor) home improvements taken care of and made it through the piles of laundry that seem to multiply like Mogwai that have been exposed to water.

Important dates to consider as we enter December.

  • December 5th  – Movie Night – Come support our 6th grade students, and enjoy a night out alone, or with your significant other.   This is a great opportunity to have a night free of the little ones and get some holiday shopping done, or just enjoy the company of other adults.
  • December 17th  – International Festival for Upper Elementary classes.  Join us from 9-11am for a tour around the world.  Your children will be presenting their first country study projects.
  • December 19th – Our class is hosting a pre-holiday pancake breakfast.  If you are planning on joining us for the breakfast, please let me know, no later than December 5th so we can be sure to have enough food for everyone.

As a reminder, there is no December book report; however, the January book report is posted.  The genre is biography and the book report style is a timeline.  I will post the requirements and rubric shortly.

The holiday season is upon us and as such, things tend to become hectic relatively quickly. Enjoy the last few days of November and the unseasonably warm weather!

~Cheers

 

Pre-Holiday Pancake Breakfast

Good Morning!

Our class will be having a pancake breakfast on Friday, December 19th.    This is a great way to end our year before coming back in January.

Please sign up to support our pancake breakfast if you are able.  We will need donations of food, electric griddles and time in order for this breakfast to be a success.
