Mrs. Broschard's Class

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for all of the books that were purchased for the classroom from the Book Fair. We LOVE getting new books!!

We coded this week!! The kids loved it!! Khan Academy, Scratch, Tynker and Hopscotch are FREE web-based sites for kids to explore and learn. I put several links up on Google Classroom so that kids can code on their own.

21st Century kids code--that's US!!

COLOMA

Coloma money is due WEDNESDAY!! We need to make a second payment next week. You can either pay the entire $125 balance now [and be done!], or pay two payments--$65 and $60 through January. Either way, I need a payment by Wednesday, 12/14. I also need the permission slip that was sent home in November.

Bibliography

Part of your child's mission projects involves writing a bibliography. I provided a sample in the assignment packet. However, I will be teaching students how to write a bibliography when we return from break. So, it might make sense to "hold off" on that section until January.

BOOK EXCHANGE

Before we leave for break, we will have a book exchange. If your child wants to participate, s/he needs to bring in a wrapped, unmarked book. The book should be good for both boys & girls--and appropriate for our reading levels. Every student that brings in a book will get a different book in exchange through a fun game!!

Spelling Bee & Robotics Club

Spelling Bee and Robotics Club

The schoolwide spelling bee will be held on January 17, 2017 at 2:30 pm. If you are interested in taking part, please let me know so I can add your name to the list!

ROBOTICS CLUB SESSION #2

Robotics Club Session 2 will be from February 8 - May 31 on Wednesdays from 2:30-3:30 in Room 707. If you would like to apply, be on the lookout for a Google Forms link in January. You can apply from January 11-25 and 22 students will be randomly selected on January 26. Winners will be notified by an email from Mrs. Choy.
-If you were in the first session of Robotics, you can't be in the club again. This is open to students in grades 3-5 only.
-If you were one of the 98 families who applied at the beginning of the year, apply again.
-Please only submit one application.

THANK YOU!!

Thank you for your generous toy donations to Toys for Tots. Our boxes were overflowing. The kids had a great time playing dodgeball yesterday against the Air Force.
