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 17^th. 

The party is on Thursday, morning the 20^th, 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.

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

Next week, 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.
