Its's the most wonderful time of the year....

One week until Christmas, which means we are wrapping up our semester!  This week in Social Studies we successfully finished Chapters 4 & 5.  The kids are testing today over the material, and starting tomorrow we are gearing up for the semester exams!  My exam is an open note test.  The students need to be organizing their notes and studying so that the can use their resources to their fullest potential and be successful on the exam!

Since Thanksgiving, FSMS has been filled with the holiday spirit.  The staff competed in a door decorating contest.  Team Monkees earned an honorable mention as the door with the "Best Team Collaboration."  Our doors had a "naughty and nice theme."

It's hard to believe that in just one week we will be off for Christmas break.  Remember the holiday is from December 17th through January 3rd.  December 16th & 17th are half days for students.  These are also the two days in which the students will be taking their semester exams in all classes.  The 17th marks the end of the six weeks and semester.  Happy Holidays!

Go Cubs!
