Teacher Variety Show--Success!

Thank you to all of the parents and students that attended our variety show last week.  It was exciting for the teachers to put it on!  Most importantly, we raised more money for a great cause.  Check out more pictures and video of the event on the Northeast Range Facebook page!

Bear Island Survey Presentation

Last Tuesday we had Don from Bear Island come to help us understand what a surveyor does.  After a discussion about maps and creating maps, we had an opportunity to test out some of the equipment on the playground.  It was really a great tie in to the lessons that we have had in science about map making.  Thank you, Don, for joining us in the classroom and for giving us the opportunity to learn about surveying!

Book Publishing Information

I am sending home this notice today.  Please return the forms by Monday, December 3rd. 

Once again, your student will be a published author!! This year we are working with Student Treasures Publishing to create our Author’s Tea books. Each student is working hard on their story and illustrations.




This company offers each student a book for FREE. You have no obligation to purchase anything. What they need, however, is everyone to sign the form that you have seen the option to purchase additional books. Please do one of the following to ensure that you get at least one book:



IF YOU ONLY WANT THE FREE BOOK:



• Check the box at the bottom of the form that says, “No, I am not interested at this time….” and sign your name at the bottom of the form. Put the form in the envelope and fill out the front of the envelope.



IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL COPIES IN ADDITION TO THE FREE BOOK:



• Fill out the form, sign the bottom of the form, enclose the money in the envelope (if applicable), and fill out the front of the envelope.



Please return this envelope, whether you are ordering additional books or not, as soon as possible. In order for each person in our class to get their book published for FREE everyone needs to have a parent sign the form.



Thank you for all of your help! This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to be published authors!

December Events!

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,




Thank you to all of the parents who have worked with the kids cooking fun apple and wild rice recipes for CBAI! In December we will be making cookie recipes from around the world. Our class will be making Melomacarona (Greek Honey-Dipped Cookies) and Italian Fig Bundles. It would be great to get at least five or six volunteers to help out with this project. I will have six different kitchens available, so the ratio would be 3:1. We will be cooking on Tuesday, December 11, from 8:30 until around noon. Any help is appreciated!! Please email or write a note if you can help out!



On Wednesday, December 19th, we will have our Winter Activity Day. In the morning the students will be rotating through the classrooms, participating in an activity. If any parent would like to volunteer for this event, please let me know! We will start right away around 8:30 and the activities should go until lunch.



This year we will have a gift exchange in the afternoon from 1:30-2:00. Please bring a wrapped gift for a person the same gender as you (if you are a girl, bring a girl’s gift, boys will bring a boy’s gift). Please limit the gifts to five dollars or less. We will play the dice game and each person will have a new gift to bring home.



We will have no school on Friday, December 21st. Classes will resume on Wednesday, January 2, 2013.



Winter Greetings!
