Dec 9-13

Oh the weather outside is frightful.....AGAIN!  At least today we got to enjoy recesses outside!  With two weeks left to go until the holiday break we have a lot of work planned for the students and some exciting plans laid out.

Curriculum update:
Math - we are finishing up on geometry, learning about flips, turns and rotations and also moving into another pattern unit.
Science - moving from rollers to the wheel and axle
LA - something exciting - which is a secret!

Monday

• The holiday lunch was today, which was fantabulous!  Thank you to the long list of volunteers who organized, collected sponsors, cooked, served, set up, cleaned and I'm sure there were more things!  To the people that donated their time, there is nothing more precious.  The gift of time and togetherness are so important to give to one another.  Today is one of my favorite parts of working at Galbraith!  The feeling inside the gym for that sit down lunch is something to be experienced.  

Tuesday

• Library books are due - we will be going there today!
•  We say goodbye to Mr Georgeson who has been with us since the beginning of November

Wednesday:

• After school skating at Adams 3:45-4:45

Friday:

• We should be able to frolic this Friday.  Last Friday we did a human log roll in the gym for a combined science/PE lesson! 

Just a reminder about next week - the concert will take place at Park Meadows Baptist Church on Wednesday, Dec. 18 - 7 p.m. (for A-L last names) and on Thursday, Dec. 19 - 7 p.m. (for M-Z last names).  Dress rehearsals will take place the same afternoon at the church starting at 1 p.m. if for some reason you or a grandparent can't make it in the evening.  Your child has been asked to dress in all black.  Please don't go buy anything new, dark blue/navy also works well.  Thank you!

Lastly, our energy day assembly will take place on Dec. 20; 8:45 a.m. in the gym . Feel welcome to attend.
