WEEK OF DECEMBER 18-20th

 Dear Parents and students of Room 20,

First, I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the parents for the amazing gift certificate to Mentone. My family will be going on Christmas Eve Eve to celebrate the best bread, salad and Pasta in Santa Cruz!

Tomorrow is our well-earned class party with BYOB. "Bring your own bed". Students can bring a blanket, pillow and stuffed animal. We will have Mexican Food and watch Ratatouille. Please make sure your child brings a change of clothes for the winter musical recital at 1pm. 

On Wednesday we will take our Europe Map Test along with our Holiday History Quiz. I encourage students to study their notes and maps! Also, I will be collecting our Poetry Folders this Wednesday so students need to make sure they have the following final draft poems:

Diamante (1)

Haikus (3)

Free Verse

Famous Poem

Cinquains (2)

Couplet 

Opinion/Foods (2)

Finally, please make sure your child brings a gift that is wrapped to participate in the White Elephant gift exchange game on Wednesday. 

Let's finish strong!
Mr. Sweet
