**December Service Project for 3rd Grade!!**

Well, it’s that time of year to feel the Christmas Spirit!!  For our 3rd grade service project, we have decided to partner with the Shepard’s Bowl Soup Kitchen in Ogden.  After speaking with Mrs. Alexander (that works at Quest and The Shepard’s Bowl), they have a need for dog food.  A large population of the homeless in the area have dogs.  They usually feed them the food that they could eat.  So, we want to give these dogs the food that their body needs, instead of the “real food” they are given.  Therefore, we would love any donation of bagged (big bags are great) or canned dog food to donate to The Shepard’s Bowl Soup Kitchen to give out for Christmas this year.  We will be collecting the dog food until Monday, December 11th.  We will start putting the dog food into smaller bags as a grade the last week before Christmas.  Thanks so much for everything you do!!! 🙂

Food Permission for Math

We will be starting perimeter this week in math.  I always like to start the unit with an activity that uses Pull-n-Peel Twizzlers.  After we do the math activity, I do let the children eat the licorice.  If you do not want your child to eat the licorice, please let me know.  I know they are getting tons of candy and junk this week with Halloween, so what’s a little more sugar, right??
