Two Weeks to Go!

It’s hard to believe that there’s just two short weeks until the holiday recess. We have a lot going on at East Hill during these two weeks. The PTA Holiday Shop for students will run tomorrow and Wednesday (12/10 and 12/11). If you selected a gift tag from the community giving tree, please make sure your gift is brought in by Thursday. There are a few tags left on the tree if you are still interested. The gifts should be gift-wrapped with a tag securely fastened onto the gift. Thank you to everyone who participated in this wonderful project. Thank you also to everyone who contributed non-perishable food items to our Red Cross food drive.

Our next CODE assembly is this Thursday. These assemblies run 20-30 minutes in duration and focus on bullying as well as a variety of developmentally appropriate topics for each grade level. Officer Diane Brand does a wonderful job working with the individual grade levels.

Our 4^th and 5^th grade orchestra and chorus concert is next Monday night at the high school. The concert begins at 7:00 p.m.

Holiday parties will be held in the classrooms on Thursday, December 19^th at 2:15. Only those parents who have been designated as helpers by the room parents should be in the classrooms. It is very important in the peanut-free rooms that all treats are store-bought and contain a label that can be checked by our teachers and/or our school nurse.

Thank you to all of you that came out for our Math Night last Thursday during this busy month. We had a great turnout and received a lot of positive feedback. The draft parent guides that were handed out can be accessed here for grade 3, here for grade 4, and here for grade 5. There are also links to these guides found on the West Genesee homepage in the parent resource section. As soon as I have K-2 completed I will let you know!

Our math words of the day for this week are cubed or cubed number (M), exponent (T), sort (W), classify (Th), and greatest (F).

Have a great week!
