Holiday Party  Our holiday party will be this Thursday, 12:15-1:15.  To see what we need for the party, you can look at this note that is going home in the Wednesday folder:  5th Grade Holiday Party.

Homework  Over the winter break, please continue to have your child read and practice their multiplication & division facts.  Reading on Achieve 3000 would be a good way to practice reading non-fiction text, and they have a contest over the break.  You can find out about the contest here:  WinterHolidayContest.  Remember that Science Fair Projects are due right after we get back, so the break is a good time to work on them.  If you want to know more about rules and requirements, you can find them here:  Science Fair.

Upcoming Events  Fulmore MIddle School would invite you to their Evening of Wonder Open House. The Evening of Wonder is a very special evening where we open our campus to all prospective families so they can enjoy our amazing student performances, visit classrooms, and learn about our unique Magnet Program. Please join them on January 14^th, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Fulmore Middle School to enjoy a magical evening! Please call the Magnet Office at 512-841-4916 with any questions.  Here are the flyers they sent us:
