* No early out for us next Friday, Dec. 17

* Our St. James Christmas concert is Wednesday night!  Please have kids to the Community Center by 6:05.  Prelude starts at 6:15 and concert begins at 6:30.

We have 7 1/2 days of school before break.  We will extend our reading for 7 days instead of 5. We will have concert practice 2 mornings next week so I want to allow plenty of time to complete the lessons.  I will send home a spelling list Monday but we won't take the spelling test until Tuesday, Dec. 21.  We will also finish up Chapter 5 in math and will test sometime before break.  

Tuesday, Dec. 14 will be Aavas' last day in our class.  His family has decided to return to Nepal.  He will be greatly missed.  We are trying to figure out how we can stay in touch with him and be halfway across the world from him.  Please keep Aavas and his family in your prayers that they have safe travels and return to Nepal.  

Everyone have a great weekend, 

Mrs. Sheetz
