Mrs. Heyser's Class

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving! First a note from Mrs. Scholten who coordinates the Giving Tree (outside the office): With today being giving Tuesday, I wanted to thank everyone who has supported the Christian Neighbors Christmas Project and the Giving Tree, by giving gifts to the tree.   For those of you that do not know, these gifts will be brought back to CN next week, so that parents can actually "shop" for their children before Christmas.  I like this idea because parents know their children best, and can truly choose something they know their child would like for Christmas vs. a random gift. As  a reminder, please note that all gifts are due to the Giving Tree on/before next week Monday, Dec. 3rd.   *The remainder of December will be a non-perishable food and essentials drive.  So if you didn't get a chance to give, there is still time.   Thanks again for your generous support. The book orders are due tomorrow. I will s

This Friday our class will have a book sharing day. Students have been so excited to show their favorite books from home. We started off showcasing the books and reading a page or so of many of them. Some students even read to the class. While I find this a fun and worthwhile activity, it is taking up a lot of curriculum time. We had 8 students bring books from home to share today! (What a problem to have, right?!) LOL! So the solution is that we are going to take a few minutes this Friday to have a Book Show and Tell. It might be a good idea to write your family name on it or inside the cover just incase. After book sharing day it would be a good idea to keep most of the books at home. If students are really interesting in bringing a book they may keep it in their desk for times when they finish work early. Thanks and Happy Reading!
