Game
Night
Sibley
game night is scheduled for January 10th here at Sibley at 6pm.
There will be pizza and fun games to play. Hope you all can join us.
Homework
You will
start to see a couple of math study links come home each week. The study link is a review of a lesson that
was already taught in class. I want the students to be prepared for the
homework that lies ahead in the following grades. This will help teach responsibility by
completing the homework on time and also teaching them independence. Please let
me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Prairie Fire Theater
Auditions are going be to be held January 27th and practice will be that following week. More information will come home today about Prairie Fire.
