Christmas is coming! The dungeon's full of rats! ...Wait, that's not how the song goes!  It is how the book goes.  We are almost finished, with the book.  Just a few more pages until the end, but we are definitely at the climax.  Poor Despereaux, who was trying to save his Princess Pea, is now lost in the dark dungeon with a bunch of dirty rats. We hope the next few pages will be better for our small mouse friend!  Tomorrow we will find out!  In the morning we will be watching the 3rd grade holiday presentation, with some of our own team members participating in the choir!
After the presentation we will finish the book and watch the movie!  In honor of the book we will have chocolate marshmallow soup (better know as hot chocolate) and popcorn as a snack.  When the movie is over we will be heading to lunch, recess, specials, and then the party! What a day!  I can't wait!


Side Note:  Many of the students did a GREAT job on their Lesson 8-9 Spelling and Vocabulary today!  There are a few students who will still need to pass the assessment before enjoying the activities tomorrow.  Please talk with your student to see how they are doing on it.  If they have not passed, they really need to study tonight!  If there is any confusion, you can always check the grade book.  You can use your parent login, or students can use their own login.  (Don't let them fool you. They do know it - it is their 4 letters and 4 numbers.)  A missing grade for the Week 18 assessment indicates that the student has not passed the Lesson 8-9 assessment.
