Students of the Week: 12/11

This week's students of the week are....
Emma, Carson, and Consuela! We can always count on Consuela and Carson to be kind to others and do their jobs as students. After having been sick for about a week, Emma came back with a very positive attitude, ready to catch up on her responsibilities. Thanks for having such a great week, you three. We're glad we know you!



Week in Review 12/7-12/11

Hello Fisher Baker families!

Our class brought in over one hundred cans of food for the canned food drive! It certainly felt good to help out our community. With 2015 coming to a close, we have a few friendly reminders for our last week.

Looking ahead:

  • MOVIE PREMIERE: We are premiering Star Trek: The Mystery of the Maya this Thursday, December 17th. Join us at one of our showings. (11:00 and 1:30)

  • REPORT CARDS/PORTFOLIOS:Although the grading period for the second quarter ends next week, students will not be receiving their report cards until the week we return from winter break in January. We will, however, be sending home portfolios filled with some assessments and projects from the quarter this week. 

  • ANIMAL REPORTS: We will spend much of next week working on animal/ national park research reports. This weekend, students may want find books from the public library or resources printed off from the internet to bring to school on Monday.

  • COOKIE WALK: The read-a-thon cookie walk will be Wednesday, December 16th. Be sure to bring your snowball coupons to participate!

Have a safe and lovely weekend!
