Friday, 12/5 Newsletter Updates

Midterms Next Week
It's that time already. Second quarter midterms will be calculated over the weekend and sent home early next week - probably on Tuesday. When you get them, please return the signature form right away with any questions or comments.

Christmas Party and Gift Exchange
On December 19 we will have our traditional Christmas party. The newsletter explained some simple guidelines. Please keep gifts in the $5 range. It's nice to exchange gifts, but there can be challenges if all of the gifts are not "even" so to speak. Boys will exchange with boys, and girls with girls. Names will be randomly selected.

Christmas Program and Memory Work
Yes, we are working on memory work for the Christmas program. Next week we will do:
1. Monday - While Shepherds Watched v. 1-2
2. Tuesday - While Shepherds Watched v. 3-4
3. Thursday - Angels We Have Heard on High (including the horribly difficult chorus "Glo-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-oria!")
4. Friday - Whatever needs work.
5. Don't forget Q2W5 slips.

Book Order
Any last minute book orders? I'm planning to place the order tonight, but if you still want to order something - secretly or not - send me an email and I'll add it to the order. You can send the payment in next week.
