The past few weeks have been crazy, with holidays, snow days, sick days and Writers Workshop - most of those have been wonderful, but have created quite a bit of chaos with our routine and schedule! Due to all of our excitement, I messed up with this week's homework and Spelling words...the homework packet doesn't match the Spelling words the children wrote in their planners. Therefore, I am canceling the Spelling test for tomorrow. I still would like the children to complete the homework, as practice with words is always time well-spent, but there won't be a test. There also will not be homework for next week, as I know everyone will be very busy with holiday preparations and our model Seders will take up most of next Friday anyway.
I also spoke with the children about two very important collections we are working on - we are asking each child bring in at least two items for a food collection for the Mid Ohio Food Bank - non perishables only please. And the school is also collecting unused pencils to send to Africa to impoverished schools there. During our discussion, the children couldn't even imagine not having basics like pencils for school. Thanks in advance for your help with these worthwhile projects.
