Happy Holidays!

It's hard to believe there are just four more days left of school before the holiday break! 

Our 4th and 5th grade concert that was scheduled to be held tonight in the West Genesee High School Auditorium has been moved to this Thursday, 12/19 at 7:00 p.m. I hope you will be able to join us. We had a great preview of the performance today.
Holiday parties are also scheduled for this Thursday at 2:15. Please remember that siblings should be kept at home and that food in the nut-free classrooms comes with a label on it so that it can be checked by our teachers and/or nurse.

Last week the second grade presented the character education traits of compassion and caring for the school. They acted out a story and sent the message that we need to be caring and compassionate to all of the people in our lives. I thought it was a nice message to send, especially at this time of year. Speaking of being compassionate, thank you to everyone who contributed to the PTA's community giving project this year. People were very generous.
Our math words for the week are least (M), commutative property (T), associative property (W), distributive property (Th), partial products (F), compose (Th, 1/2), and decompose (F, 1/3). 

I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year!
