Update 11/28

We got off to a slow start today, but picked up pace as the day went on . . . I think a few kids were still a bit sleepy from too much rest!

We are starting a donation competition tomorrow for our CHEER committee! The class that donates the most items by Friday (see list picture), wins a pizza party! If everyone can donate just one item, we will show compassion, this month's life skill, toward other families living in Brownsburg that need our help this holiday season!

Homework: The numbers in parentheses indicate the approximate amount of time each student was given to work on each individual assignment today or when assigned.

  1. No test this week over HOW to spell the words in the packet, but each student MUST KNOW HOW TO USE the words from the packet by Thursday (20+minutes). The packet is due Thursday, too.

Reading:
