Holiday Party

We want this to be a fun time for the kids to celebrate, but we need a little help.  Click on this link to find the Sign-Up Genius to see what we need and to sign up for a donation or volunteer spot.  

December 7, 2015

We are counting down until our holiday break -- only two more weeks.  We will be doing quite a bit of academics during these two weeks, so it is very important for every student to be in school.

Address/Personal Information

We are learning how to using proper punctuation in addresses, and the third grade team feels that it is important for students to know their own personal information in case of an emergency.  If you have not gotten the study sheet from your student, please see the attached.  Students will be tested on this information on December 15.  One grade will be for Social Studies because we are studying communities.  This grade will be for accuracy of information only.  The other grade will be for Writing.  This grade will be for correct capitalization, punctuation, and format.

Holiday Party

We will be celebrating the end of our first semester with a holiday party on December 17.  We will have our party 9-10 AM and will serve breakfast foods.  Our homeroom mom, Andrea Allison, is planning some cool activities for the students, too.  If you would like to help with any of the activities, please let me know, and I will send her contact information to you.  I will be sending out a Sign-Up Genius for donations needed for the party.

Senior Choir Tour

Our Senior Choir will be going on their annual tour on December 9.  If you have not signed and returned your student's permission slip, please do so ASAP.

Dyslexia Information Night

If you would like more information regarding dyslexia, the district is providing an opportunity for parents to attend an information session.  They will be meeting on Monday, December 7 (tonight) from 6-7:30 PM at the Old Hopewell Building near Round Rock High School. Information will include how to help parents know how to help at home, and parents will have an opportunity to make and take activities. 

Literacy/Cultural Awareness Night

Forest Creek Elementary will be hosting a Literacy and Cultural Awareness Night this Thursday, December 10, 5:30-7:30 PM.  All grade levels have been working hard to present literature from different continents.  Please come and experience a wonderful night of literacy.

Picture Retakes

If you are not pleased with your student's pictures, they can be retaken on Thursday, December 10.  Please let me know if you need an order form.

Tutoring

This week and next, we will only have tutoring on Tuesday, not Thursday.  After the holiday break, we will begin tutoring starting on January 12.

Science Fair

Forest Creek's annual science fair is January 28.  It is optional for third graders to participate, but I highly encourage students to do so.  It is a great experience and will prepare them for next year when it will be required for them to participate.  Please see the attached packet and let me know if you have any questions.
