Upcoming Foundation Events

Parents,

The Spring semester is here and that means lots of fun events from Addison Foundation to keep your kids happy and the Science Lab going!

Penny Wars runs January 17 - 27th with the final chance to take place at the Winter Wonderland Ball the evening of the 27th. Send your children in with pennies for their grade and silver and dollars to sabotage the other grades.  Pennies are GOOD, the rest is BAD because they're what subtracts from that grade's pennies!  The kids can drop them in the buckets each morning before school!  They LOVE Penny Wars!!

The first ever Winter Wonderland Ball for girls in grades K - 5 to dance the night away with their dad, grandpa, uncle, or favorite father figure is taking place January 27th from 6-9pm.  

The next teacher auction items are coming too!  Bidding is now open -  Monday, February 6th from 2:30 - 4 is the After School Art Class with Miss Stoddard!  And taking place on Friday, February 10th from 6-8pm, a Girls' Night Out Shenanigans After School with Mrs. Hallmark!!  Check out the experiences and get more information at www.biddingowl.com/addisonelementary.  If any questions, reach out to Laura Glancy, President at lauragpta@gmail.com

As always, details can be found on the Foundation website at www.foundation4addison.org.  Thank you for supporting our Foundation's work to give us the Science Lab and other wonderful things!

Everyday Leaders

This week we had a special guest performance. Ronald McDonald came to teach us about how we can be everyday leaders. The students really enjoyed the show. Our own Jennifer was selected to participate in the show. Enjoy the pictures. 

Farewell to Miss Pizza!

Yesterday was bittersweet. We said goodbye to our wonderful student teacher Miss Pizza. Although she will only be two halls over, with her own 3rd grade class, we will miss her dearly in our classroom. She was so invested in the students and did a fabulous job in our room. Thank you for sending in cards and gifts for her. She truly appreciated everyone single one of them.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving break with family and friends. I am thankful and blessed to be your child's teacher this year. I look forward to seeing the students in a week!!

When we return, we will have 18 days of school before Winter break. We will continue to work on informational writing and possessive nouns. We will work on measurement and two step word problems in math. In social studies we will be learning about 3 historical figures and in reading we will focus on inferencing.

Addison Elementary's Presidential Election

Yesterday we had our Presidential election here at Addison! Students each made their own Voter Registration cards and were able to cast their votes for the next President. We also talked about good characteristics of a president and students wrote about what it would be like if they were president. Enjoy the pictures below!
