Northpoint Elementary School
2008 Holiday Service Project
Northpoint Elementary School will be participating in a holiday service project that will benefit families in the Penn-Harris-Madison community. Each classroom will be sponsoring a family for Christmas by providing new toys, clothing, socks/underwear, coats/outerwear, gift wrap/supplies and other items to help those who are not in a position to provide these items for their children.
Your child’s teacher will share specific information with you regarding the children’s sizes, ages and interests. We are hoping to collect wrapping supplies, which will allow the children’s parents to wrap the gifts.
We are also accepting clean, gently used clothing, coats/outerwear, and boots to donate to schools that have children in need. The schools could also use gently used games for indoor recess and after school activities, so if you have anything no longer being used, please send the items our way. Please label the gently used items as “school donations” so we can separate them from the gifts.
We will be collecting items from December 1-12. The response to the food drive for Thanksgiving was overwhelmingly positive. We really appreciate the giving attitude of our families and staff!

Homework is to read, read, read! We will be working on writing coin totals using cent and dollar notation. Example: $1. 04 and 104 . Don't forget tomorrow is PHM Night for Notre Dame Women's Basketball. Be there!
We will be getting more information about our adopted family for Christmas. We do know that there are 3 boys ages 12, 10, and 4. We will need hats, gloves, boots, coats, sizes 12 and 10 and 5 in shirts and coats. Boot size 2, pants size 12, 10, and 5. The boys like games, pokamon cards, trading cards, coloring books, and cars. We are also going to be needing a food basket and wrapping paper. After our class has discussed what they will need, we will be sending a list home. If you have any of these items already, send them in and we will take your name off the list.

Our writing this week will focus on story writing about our families.
Math: Our math time was disrupted this week due to the election and other activities. Please check the daily schedule to see what we are studying according to the Homelink assigned. We will be focusing most of the week on Frames and Arrows and What's My Rule. We will also work on counting dimes. If your child needs extra help, let me know and I can give you several good websites or paper/pencil practice sheets. We will tentatively have a test over Unit 3 on the 18th.
DONATIONS NEEDED AND GLADLY ACCEPTED: kleenexes; strands of white lights (the ones with 10-20 lights on the strand) for a Christmas project; large refill size hand sanitizers. We will also need items for our December Mini-Economy store.
Earthquack - We are happy to announce that the Earthquack group will be performing the play on Wednesday, November 19th at 6:30 p.m. in the LGI. Cast members are expected to be at school by 6:00 p.m. We will have dress rehearsals on Tuesday morning for the first grade classes and Wednesday morning for the 4th grade classes.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Donati and Mrs. Corwin for all their help with scenery and costumes, and to Mrs. Jacques for purchasing 3 bunny costumes. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TUNNEL FOR OUR PLAY. If you have any collapsible laundry hampers or tube type thing that a couple of kids can crawl through, it would be greatly appreciated.
Holiday Giving Celebrations - Northpoint will be involved in two community service activities coordinated by Stars in Service this holiday season. Our class will be adopting a needy family in the PHM community and try to provide all the things they may need for a great Thanksgiving. In class, we will brainstorm and make a list of what a family might need and then assign specific items for your family to donate. Perishable food items such as a turkey, eggs, milk, butter, etc. cannot be stored so we would ask for a specific gift certificate to purchase those items from a local grocery store. Non-perishable items might include: cranberry sauce, jello, boxed mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, jar of gravy, brownies, paper products, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, centerpiece, etc. If your family has an excess of any of these items, please send them in next week prior to our brainstorming so we don't assign the item to a student. I will send home a note next week indicating what your child should bring to school so that a needy family will be able to have a THANKFUL THANKSGIVING. We will be collecting items the week of November 17th.
On November 21st, your child can bring in $1.00 and MISMATCH their clothes. Money collected will be donated to the Northern Indiana Food Bank.
In December, our class will be doing something similar except that we will be adopting a needy family from the PHM community providing gifts/clothing/gift certificates/wrapping paper/etc. We will be doing this in lieu of bringing in Toys for Tots and winter clothing. We will be adopting a specific family and have a list of sizes, wants, interests, needs, etc.
More information will be coming.
It has been decided that we will not have classroom gift or book exchanges between the students, but instead to focus our attention on helping those less fortunate and helping them to have meaningful holidays.
If however, you order books from Scholastic that you would like to have for Christmas presents for your child, let me know and I will make sure to package them when they arrive, put them in the office, and call you to let you know to come in and pick them up instead of sending them home with your child.

We did not get to lesson 3.8 in math. Homelink 3.8 should not be completed until tomorrow. We worked very hard on half-past the hour today. We also began brainstorming ideas for our family writing for November. Perhaps you can discuss family activities tonight at dinner. Please also go over your home address with your child. It is very important that they can recite and write their address.

FAMILY HOMEWORK
Family Homework is a GREAT way to get the family together and create a project.
We would like each family to create a project that represents your family. How do you do that? As a family, decide what kind of project you would like to create. Project ideas might be: a scrapbook page, a poster, family tree, a banner, a book, create a family crest, a mobile or any other CREATIVE idea you have. Then decide what information about your family you should include in your project. You might include: favorite activity your family does together, favorite holiday, something from your culture, members of your family, traditions your family has, something that is important to your family, history of your family, or anything else you would like to share with us about your family. If there is more than one Northpoint Star in your family, then you can either: create only one project, create "replicas" of the original project or create different projects for each Northpoint Star. Your family can make this as easy or as hard as they would like. If only one project will be created, that project should be turned in to the oldest sibling's classroom on the due date below.
In class, we will be doing a writing activity about why our family is special. We will focus on the writing skill of
organization/logical order. We will work on creating brilliant beginnings, mighty middles, and excellent endings. Each teacher will choose one student's writing from each class that shows the best use of a brilliant beginning, mighty middle and an excellent ending to put on display in the Writer's Showcase.
All Family projects will be displayed throughout the school.
Family projects are due by Wednesday, November 19th.
