A Holly Jolly Holiday

This is the funnest week of the year for a fifth grader! It's a great day to be a Jag! We have the Honor Choir concert tomorrow. We have guest readers each day this week. Starnes Dees invited his grandparents to read today. His grandmother, a former schoolteacher, read Patricia Polacco's Welcome Comfort. It is a story that certainly puts you in the holiday spirit. If you are looking for a chapter book to read aloud to kids, try Kate DiCamillo's The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It would be a great stocking stuffer. We have the Christmas party this Thursday at 12:30. All parents are invited to attend! I hope to see you there!
