Hello Team Hendricks Families!
Thank you for the donations to our blanket project. We currently have about half of our goal! Students are really excited about the project. Again, if you can spare a couple extra dollars to donate to the project, I will match the donation and it will go toward our final delivery.
Study Island
During conferences, several families asked about additional homework for students to work on after assigned homework time. I would like to remind parents of a new program that Southeast has released to all third and fourth grade students. Study Island at www.studyisland.com is available for students to use for free. Each parent received their child’s username and password in the progress report. If you need another copy of your child’s credentials, please email me, call me, or send me a note. I will be happy to provide it.
Now that the snow is flying, I would like to request that parents send in the following items for their child:
- Extra Pair of Socks (Snow gets into boots and soaks socks! Dry socks make the afternoon go so much better!)
- Extra Sweatshirt (The room can be a little chilly at times, especially on cold days. An extra sweatshirt kept in their locker can be grabbed in a second to warm up.)
Also, snow items need to fit into their lockers or be placed under their desks. An extra bag (like those new reusable bags from the grocery store) can be used to keep everything together in one place.
Questions about these items can be sent to me by click on “About” at the top of the page and scroll to the bottom of the page for my information. Have a great week!
December Community Service: Blankets!

Dear Families,
Community service is an important part of a theme we are exploring during the month of December. This month, we will complete a short community service project that will allow our class to create fleece blankets that will be donated to families in the Mansfield.
I will be purchasing fleece material to make these blankets. If you can spare a few dollars to help with this project, it would be extremely appreciated! Depending on the funding, we will make as many blankets as we can. Donation of money to the project is completely optional and all students will be able to participate in this project.
This is a great project that will allow your child to “give back” to our local community.
Best wishes,
Jamie Hendricks
