3rd Annual Farewell Fiesta (May 21st)

The end of the year is quickly drawing to a close. It is once again time to get ready for our annual Farewell Fiesta. For those of you who have not been a part of our celebration in the past, we use this time to have a Mexican lunch together, and for the 7th and 8th grades to sign each others' yearbook and say goodbye.

I will be putting up a sign up list in the lobby this coming week. We will need donated food, drink, and paper ware. I will also need a few moms or dads that are willing to set up and clean up, since I will be in class prior to the lunch. I would appreciate any help you can offer, I cannot put on this lunch without your help. Thanks!!!

New Study Tool For Mrs. P's Literature Class

I'm very excited about a fun way that my kids will be able to study their vocabulary words, or other facts for tests. They simply need to go to quizlet.com and set up a (free) account. They are able to make up flashcards for studying, or they can use sets that I have made up for them. In order to access (My Group) they must type in the password mrsprekop. I have already put their vocabulary words, for their quiz on Monday, as a set in My Group. The name of My Group is Mrs. P's kids.

The neat thing about this application, is that they can use it to study for all of their subjects. Hope they make use of this great tool!!!

What An Amazing Christmas Carol Movie And Party!!!

Thanks to all of the parents for all of their help to make this field trip/party a success!

Christmas Party

After much debate and discussion, it has been decided that we will exchange gifts with a limit of $5. Girls will exchange with girls; boys with boys. We hope that his doesn't hinder anyone. Also, we are miking a collection to the Almoner Fund here at St. Jacobi which gives needed items and money to those in need in our own congregation. Money can be sent anytime next week.

As far as the party goes, we will have a gift opening with games and food. If the following groups could bring something in their categories, that would be great!

Baumann, Bluhm, Brown, Eisenhauer, Evans, Friedel, Gawel, and Jahns - Bring something salty

Krause, Krutz, LeVack, Martinez, Nowak, Petterson, Passow, Plaski - Bring something sweet

Rauman, Roleder, Spaude, Till, Timm, VanGrinsven - Bring somthing to drink

Thanks!

A Christmas Carol Movie and Lunch

Our Christmas Carol movie date is fast approaching and I'd like to give you a few more details about the day.

First of all, I'd like to thank the parents that signed up to bring food and other items for our lunch!!! I'm asking that those who signed up for paper/plastic products, non-alcoholic champaign, and red potatoes would please bring their things to school already on Weds. of next week. The other parents who will be providing turkey and gravy, please bring your turkey on Friday morning. I will be putting it all in a nesco to heat while we are at the movie. I will post the items that each person signed up for on the blog by this coming Friday.

Chaperones should be at school no later than 8:45 a.m. We plan to leave shortly after 9:00 a.m. I will provide maps and have a list of passengers for each driver. We will arrive at the theater in time to buy concessions before the movie.

Parents-please send money along with your child if you would like them to be able to purchase popcorn... at the theater.

I'm really looking forward to this event, and appreciate all of the parents that are willing to help with driving and lunch!!!
