***Just to let you know, our Christmas
Break will be from Wednesday, December 19th – January 2nd. School resumes on Thursday, January 3rdJ
It’s
hard to believe that our Christmas Party is right around the corner!!! We will be having our party on Tuesday,
December 18th from 1:30-2:30.
We had an amazing turn out for our Halloween Party and so glad so many
of you were able to join us! Everyone is
welcome to join us again for our Christmas fun, too, and a HUGE THANKS to all
of our awesome room moms, Melissa Maddox, Casey Fares & Kelly Prince, for
all of their hard work and to all the parents who came!!! J If you think you will be able to come and
help out at our party, you can contact me or Melissa Maddox and her email
is: MELISSAMMADDOX@GMAIL.COM
The
kids are doing a great job of trying to zip and snap their coats for this
chilly season! If your child is still
struggling though, please help him/her practice at home. It takes us awhile to get these little ones
ready to go outside! Be sure to mark gloves, hats, coats and anything else that
is brought to school. With so many
children, things get lost so easily.
Thank You!!! J
I
hope you all enjoyed our Kindergarten Portrait Shirts that were sent home last
week! I apologize for them being so
delayed coming home. It’s a big process
to have them made, so I hope they were all worth waiting for!!! The kids absolutely loved them!J
***Just a reminder that I
sent out a Six Flags Reading Form a couple weeks ago that your child can earn a
free ticket to go to Six Flags for reading 6 hours with an adult. Reading forms are not due until Feb. 27th.
Please let me know if you do not receive one.
Just a reminder that the December
Family Gingerbread Man Project is due on Monday, or whenever you can get them
finished. We have already received some
and they look amazing!!!J
Next
week we will be reviewing, testing and doing fun Christmas activities!

is tonight from 6:00-8:00!J
The base of the house, graham crackers and icing
will all be provided so all you need to bring are your decorating goodies! The
cost is $5.00 per house. The Glee will
be performing at 6:00.
The kids are doing a great job of trying to zip

If your child is still struggling though, please help him/her practice

anything else that is brought to school because a lot of things are already
getting misplaced. With so many
children, things get lost so easily.
Thank You!!! J
Remember that the reading sheets can be turned in
at anytime even if it is past the date.
Thank you for working on the gingerbread boys and girls for the family
project during this busy time. I can't
wait to see all of them and I hope your family has fun working on them!
Please
continue to keep working on our monthly popcorn words and reviewing all of our
old ones also. The kids are doing a
fantastic job with them and I appreciate all of your extra help at home!!!J
You
all should have received our new December Gingerbread Man Family Project this
week.. If not, please just let me know and I can send one home for you. They can be returned whenever they are
finished! The kids are always so excited
to share them with their friends!!!J
Next week we will be studying the letter Hh.

With
the weather getting colder, please be sure to send warm jackets, gloves and
hats with your child. They are getting
better with zipping and snapping but there are some who are still really

to mark anything sent to school with your child’s name just to help ensure that
it will be returned to them if something is lost.

how fast they are picking them up, so thank you for reviewing them at home
too!!! They should be getting a good
collection of easy reader books to keep in their book boxes! J

finished their October pumpkin reading sheet, it is not too late to return it

Hut! They can still turn it in each
