Goodall Update 12-8-2016

We had a fantastic field study to the Oklahoma Aquarium today!  Thank you to all the volunteers who came to chaperone the students.  Be sure to ask your child what their favorite animal was and what habitat it lives in.

December 21st will be our annual pajama day in the Goodall area. Students are able to wear their PJs to school and enjoy hot cocoa, a snack and a holiday movie.  
The Roots have started flexible math groups this week.  This will allow students to move to different math groups to meet their needs.  
Roots and Shoots have spelling tests tomorrow!!
It’s a very exciting time of the year and the students are especially excited about the upcoming holiday.  Please talk to your child about making good choices and following procedures at school.  We want every child to have the opportunity to learn.  Thank you.
The forecast calls for some very cold weather over the next few weeks.  Please be sure that your child has appropriate outerwear (heavy coat, gloves, hat, etc).  If the temperature is 40 degrees and the wind chill is above 32 degrees, we will have outside recess.  Please let your homebase teacher know if you need assistance with this.
