TUESDAY
NEWS!!
Dear Room 18 Families~
Congratulations to my November Homework
Heroes…they were awarded with a sweet
treat today for their disciplined efforts.
This Friday all Egyptian projects are due.
Remember, this is a three part project:
1) a 2 page typed essay about the topic
SPECIAL REQUESTS

Take a look at your child’s AR report in his/her
Tuesday envelope. Reading nightly directly impacts
your child’s successes in reading. If your child is not
currently shooting for 20 pages (approx. 30-45 min.),
please work to make this a part of his/ her nightly
routine.

Christmas Craft Day is scheduled for 12/17. Students
will rotate through 6-8 activities. Please look for a
list of requested supplies to come home Friday and
look around the house for anything you might be
able to offer. We will also need parent help. Please
email me if you can be available on the 17th.
THE WEEK AHEAD…
**This coming week, we are focusing on citing evidence
from text to support our thinking. Please visit:

We are headed to UC Davis this Thursday. It will
be raining, so please advise your child to dress
accordingly. Please carefully review the note
inside your child’s Tuesday folder about this
trip. Thank you to our chaperones!
This Thursday is the annual Barnes and Noble
Book Fair. A portion of the proceeds come
back to Cobblestone. Mrs. Goddard is hoping
that our students show up at 7pm to sing (we
have been practicing carols & many of my
students are eager to sing). Please stop by if
you can. This might be a great time to pick up
a book for our Holiday book exchange.
