SILLY SLIPPERS FOR SOUTH COBB- Students are encouraged to bring $1.00 or more to help support the South Cobb Marching Band in their quest to attend the Inaugural Parade. Did they tell you that I got a little emotional while discussing this with them We are already wearing pajamas for our Art reward tomorrow, so the slippers will fit perfectly!

HOLIDAY PARTY- Please come and celebrate with us on Friday, December 19th from 9:30-10:30.

ACCELERATED READER- Students have until Friday at 2:00 to earn 10 AR points. As of today, your child has ___________out of 10 points.

GEOMETRY QUILT- The geometry quilts are due tomorrow. They will be graded on accuracy and neatness. Students are responsible for knowing all of the information on the quilts.

PRINCIPAL’S CHALLENGE- Congratulations to the following students who were able to pass the Principal’s Challenge: Jack Dennehy, Piper Runyon, Matt Huffstetler, Reagan Coats, Andrew Thomas, Katie Nelson, and Jacob McElhannon. Students had to answer 30 division problems in one minute. If they got those all correct, then they had to answer 30 multiplication problems in one minute. Keep working hard at home. Mrs. Pepper offers the Principal’s Challenge every Friday.

7 MINUTE TIMED TESTS- We have been taking a break from the Math Buster tests since we’ve been taking the fish tests. I am going to give 3, seven minute timed tests this week that I’m going to grade. Tuesday= multiplication 0-5, Wednesday=multiplication 0-12, and Thursday=division 0-9. Study each night for the appropriate test. (Yes, even Math Busters have to take these tests. They will not count against anyone who has already passed that particular test, but they can count FOR someone who hasn’t passed that test yet.)

KEYBOARDING- We have heard from the middle schools that students need to work on their keyboarding skills. Students can go to my blog and click on Dance Type Mat to practice when they have free time at home.

SUBJECT MATTER
SPELLING- Students have their own list of words this week. Homework will come from the Spelling contract again this week. No homework on Tuesday! / Spelling Achievement Tests

MATH- We will be taking the Unit 2 post test and the Unit 3 pre test this week. Also study for the fish tests and the 7 minute timed tests.
