Welcome back!

What an interesting week back from break! Two full days on Monday and Tuesday, followed by two late start days on Wednesday and Thursday, and a full day to round out the week on Friday. It definitely helped us practice our "go with the flow" motto!

I am sending home Scholastic catalogues for January in Friday Folders this week. I will submit the January order on January 16th.

We have quite a few upcoming things to kick off the new year.
Next week we will be holding student council elections to elect two new representatives. Eddie and Kristen have served us well, but it's time for them to pass the torch! We will have speeches and elections on Friday, January 16th, for students interested in representing us. Each student who is interested must prepare a speech to present to the class. Please see here for information about student council.

We are also going to begin collecting soda and soup can tabs! Student council is sponsoring this activity for the Rainbow House. We are also still collecting BoxTops for Education!

There is no school on January 19th for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Mill Creek's annual Cocoa Night is on January 22nd from 5:00 - 6:30. This is a great opportunity to come in and let your kiddo show off the things they do each day! (And enjoy some delicious hot chocolate!)

Wednesday, January 28th is an early dismissal day. School will dismiss at 12:50 on that day. 

Specials next week are:
Monday - Art
Tuesday - Media and library Check Out
Wednesday - PE
Thursday - Music
Friday - Art

Dear Families,

 This week we have done three digit multiplication and that was a bit hard but I do have to say everyone did a good job on it considering it was harder than you might have thought. We have also we started a new book you might be familiar with it is Charlets Web by E.B White now I bet most people have read it but some haven’t so don’t ruin it kids! We had two birthday treats on the 5^th and the 7^th on the 5^th we had Connors treats and on the 7^th we had Matthews half birthday which if you ask me is pretty good. We had indoor recess all week so that is why we had to get our energy out since we cant run in the school so that explains it! We also started a math maze were we have to get to the end and connect the numbers and if you ask me that is pretty difficult since its half math and half remembering the number your trying to go up to but over all we really liked it! P.S if you want more info ask your kids they will hopefully tell you everything that happened!
