Hello,
We were talking in class today about holiday activities and decided that instead of a $5.00 gift exchange with classmates that we would prefer to donate our money to a local charity. We decided on Jacob's Heart. This organization would use our class donation to help support a family struggling with the expenses of cancer care for their child this holiday season. We thought $5.00 per student would be reasonable - but there's no obligation. Please do what works best for you. Thanks.
I've sent home your child's AR goal sheet today - please sign it for the second trimester and send it back tomorrow. The 30 minutes of reading I assign each night should help your child complete books that he/she can take tests on. If the computer testing format does not work well for your child, he/she can take a short written test on the book. I will give the same number of points as the computer test awards.
We will be attending Aptos Jr. High's production of Sleeping Beauty on Wednesday, 12/17. I sent home permission slips today. Please let me know if you can drive. The cost for each student and adult is $1.00.

Thanks!

Mrs. Koue
