Here are a few things happening this week:   *In Literacy, we are working on the letter E e…isn’t that excellent?!  E e is another hard working vowel because it has two sounds.  Some words that begin with the short ‘e’ are Emmett, Emma, egg, excellent, elbow, elephant, elk, elm, emerald, empty, evergreen, and engine.  Some words that begin with the long ‘e’ are Ethan, eagle, easel, eat, eel, email, emu, equal, and evening.  Show and Tell will be on Friday so have fun finding something that starts with ‘e’.  *On Wednesday, December 10th, we are having the 5th Annual Cocoa House.  This is a fun filled evening that begins first in the cafeteria with a dessert auction.  Bids open at 5:30.  At 6:00 pm, the entertainment begins in the gym where families will sing Christmas songs, tell jokes, play instruments, etc.  Come out and enjoy, and maybe perform, some Christmas joy!   *On Thursday, December 11th, the school choir will be singing at Saint Michael’s Basilica at 6:30.  Again, if you want to be entertained with some Christmas carols, come along.   *Some important dates to remember: Christmas Concert – Dec. 16th at 9:00 am for K-2 and 12:30 for 3-5 (storm date is Dec. 17th) Skating – Dec. 17th Dec. 19th – Last day before the holidays (Full Day)
