Holiday Update


Dear Families,

We are getting closer to winter break and I wanted to check in and provide some updates and information.

I will be sending home a gift from me to the kinders this Wednesday, as well as a family gift from your child to YOU.  They may give it to you before the holidays or wait until break.  It is a special gift they worked hard on, we hope you like it.
This week the students have been busy making a Holiday Book.  We are learning about 3 different holidays celebrated this time of year and do a craft activity for each. 

Keep reading and filling out December Reading Logs.  The goal for this month is 22 books.  Just keep them over break and count any titles read in January for this log.  I will collect on January 8 when all students arrive back to school.
The last day of school in 2018 will be Friday, December 21.  This will be a very fun day for the kinders.  We will have a school wide holiday sing-a-long in the morning and then watch the movie "The Polar Express" in the afternoon.  Students may wear their pajamas to school all day (please wear shoes for recess).  Please let me know if you do not want your child watching this movie.

We are really working hard in school and learning so much.  It is amazing how much progress has been made since the beginning of the year.  Keep reading and working on sounds and words with your child. 

I wish you all a wonderful and safe holiday season and will look forward to seeing everyone back in 2019!

Thank you!
