A Happy New Year to all of you!  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and stay nice and warm.

I want to take this time to thank all of you for all your support.  I wouldn't be able to do half the things I do with the children without it.   All your contributions, time and materials, are greatly appreciated.  It's wonderful for me to be part of a team that cares so much for their children.

After the holidays we will study about winter and the five senses.

We will do some experiments with snow...if it lasts.

We will also continue Readers' Workshop.  This becomes one of the children's favorite parts of the day.

Again, thank you for all your generosity and help-I hope the season brings you and your family everything you wish for.

We need large brown paper grocery bags to send projects home.  Please try to send them back and we will reuse them.

Thank you to everyone who sent something in to decorate the gingerbread cookies.  You are all invited to help decorate on Thursday at 12:30.

Having fun with gingerbread slime!

Gingerbread Cookie Decorating

We will be decorating cookies next Thursday at 12:30.  Parents and younger siblings are invited.  I could use two cans of low fat vanilla frosting and some candies for decorating.  If you are able to send something in, please do so by Monday, that way Nurse Lily can give me her approval.  No nuts or nut oils please.

Winter is coming!

Snow is coming soon.  Please be aware that kindergarten students need to wear snow pants and boots on the playground.  Please have them dress warmly because we try to go out everyday.  You do not have to send an extra pair of shoes because they can wear their P.E. shoes. (lighten that backpack)

Friendly Reminder

Wednesday is an early release day.  Kindergarten students will be dismissed with the whole school at 12:50.
