Jan. snack calendars will be coming home but I’ll resend them in the new year too! 

Reading folders will not be coming home this week, as I want to make sure I have all my books returned back to me before the new year!

I’ll be sending home a little update on the kiddo’s letter/sound/sight word progress and a math assessment update too. 

There will also be coming home a little Christmas packet to practice things at home, whenever your little one needs a change from all the Holiday buzz.

Christmas Party

The children will be having a gift exchange for our Christmas party.  The boys can purchase a $3-5 boy gift and the girls can purchase a $3-5 girl gift.  On the gift tags, please just write to – a girl or a boy, and from – their name.  Please wrap the presents and the children can bring them in anytime the week of 17th. 

The party is on Thursday, morning the 20th, at 10-11:15.  It is a half day and the children will be dismissed at 11:35 am.  If you need assistance with getting a gift for the gift exchange, please let me know in the next few days so I can get my elves on it.  Listed is the Christmas Party snacks lists, we have 22 students and remember one who is gluten free.  Again, if anything is a problem please let me know in advances so I can make other arrangements.  Thank you very much!  If you are interested in volunteering for our party please just shoot me an email.
