Important Information for the Week of Decmber 5th


Dear Parents,


Your student will be participating in two very important events over the next couple of weeks that I want to make you aware of. First, on Tuesday, December 6th, at 6:30 pm we will be performing at our annual Winterfest.  Due to the large turnout last year of parents, family and friends this year’s performance will be held at the PCC. The PCC has graciously offered their facility as it is larger than the auditorium at M.I.T. The PCC is located at 3560 Farm Hill Blvd. in Redwood City. I would like students to be there no later than 6:15 pm.  Secondly, we have been asked to perform the Preamble to the United States Constitution and sing a song we have been learning for the Redwood City School Board of Trustees on Wednesday, December 7th at 7:00pm. This is a tremendous honor for your student and our class and I would like to see 100% participation from my students.  Your student should arrive by 6:45pm to the Redwood City District Office located at 750 Bradford Street in Redwood City. I will meet the students in the lobby. Once the performance is over the students will be free to go home. Students who attend these evening performances will not be required to do the homework on the event nights. Please mark your calendars for these two very important events for you and your student.  I look forward to seeing you on December 6th and 7th.


Thank you,

Mr. Williams


  

Estimados Padres,



Les quería avisar que su estudiante estará participando en dos eventos muy importantes durante las próximas dos semanas. Primeramente, el Martes, 6 de Diciembre, a las 6:30pm, estaremos presentando nuestro evento de invierno anual, Winterfest. Por el gran numero de asistencia el ano pasado, este ano tendremos la presentación en el local de PCC. El local de PCC a graciosamente ofrecido sus facilidades siendo mas grande que el auditorio de M.I.T. El local de PCC esta localizado en el 3560 Farm Hill Blvd. en Redwood City. Me gustaría que los estudiantes llegaran lo mas tardar a las 6:15pm. Segundamente, nos han pedido ser parte dela presentación del Preámbulo de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, cantando una canción que hemos estado aprendiendo para la Junta Directiva Escolar de Redwood City el Miércoles, 7 de Diciembre a las 7:00pm. Esta es un tremendo honor para su estudiante y a nuestra clase y a mi nos gustaría ver 100% participación de todos mis estudiantes. Su estudiante debe llegar a las 6:45pm a la Oficina Principal del Distrito de Redwood City, localizado en el 750 Bradford Street en Redwood City. Me juntare con los estudiantes en el lobby. Cuando termine la presentación los estudiantes se pueden ir a sus casas. Los estudiantes que asista estas dos presentación no estarán requeridos hacer si tarea en la tarde de los eventos. Por favor márquenlo en sus calendarios para estos dos muy importantes eventos  para usted y su estudiante. Espero verlos el 6 y  de Diciembre.

  

Gracias,

Mr. Williams

Candle Fundraiser


Dear Family,

Your student has the opportunity to earn money towards their 5th grade trip to Outdoor Education.

Roosevelt students have been selling Soi candles for the last few years, earning $8.70 per candle towards their personal account.  We will be offering the same fundraising opportunities this year as well.  Very soon, your child will be bringing home a bag filled with scented candle samples and an ordering form.  The candles sell for $22.00 each and payment is due at the time of ordering.  Cash is preferred, but checks can be made out to the Soi Company.


If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Williams.

The Votes Are In


The votes are in and counted and we have some winners. This year the elections were the closest ever. They were so close we had a tie for one position. I have decided instead of a run off both students will hold the position. I will give the numbers out tomorrow in class but I wanted to give out the winners tonight. Before I do I did want to say I am very proud of all of you for the work you put into this. Great job everyone!

As for the Propositions it was decided that we would keep the reading Goal at 60 books per student for the year and in a vote decided by 1 vote you will be getting one free homework assignment per month. One person did not vote for this which caused a 1 vote difference.
