News and Notes

 There are nine days left before the long Christmas break.  

We have a field trip next Monday and our Christmas Party on the 14^th of December.  We are asking for different chaperones on this trip as everyone wants to go on a field trip with their child to make a lasting memory.  On this trip we are only allowed two chaperones a class the price for the children is $5.00 and chaperones $5.50. We are looking forward to having an awesome trip culminating our adventure with lunch at the breeze. 

The holiday shop will be here at Seabreeze next Monday-Friday.  

The room mothers will be asking for a small donation and contributions for our Christmas Party on the fourteenth.

Progress reports went out last week and we still have three more weeks before the second nine weeks is over.  You still have time to bring up those low grades if you keep your focus on excellence.  

Benchmark testing continues this week with math and writing. The writing FCAT test is coming up in February 26 and the 27.  Please make plans to be here and be on time.  

The news crew is soliciting members for the news team. The requirements are simple: attend school regularly and be on time and have an average of a C or better.  We are looking forward to seeing our fourth grade students on television in the morning.  

Mrs. Scott has enrolled thirty out of forty-two students for IXL.com.  She did not do everyone because two hundred dollars being paid out of pocket was quite a bit for only thirty students.  Until PTA pays for a site license thirty students will be a good start. 

The classroom store will continue this Thursday.  A special thanks to Mr. Hayes for undertaking such a noble task.
