What's going on in December??!!

Good morning! I just wanted to give you a heads up on classroom activities for the month of December. Tonight I will be sending home the December book order. However, I would like it returned by FRIDAY to ensure that it is here on time.  If you would like for me to hold these as gifts for your child, please indicate that to me on the order form. Secondly, Wednesday, December 14th is Gingerbread Day in 1Wi.  Students will do several activities that day that pertain to the Gingerbread stories including building their very own gingerbread house that they will get to enjoy at the end of the day. J  Please see the attachment of what your child is to bring for that day.  On December 16th we will be wrapping our holiday gifts for the boys and girls we’ve adopted. We will start this activity around 12:45. Any parent volunteers are welcome. Our Holiday Party will be December 19th from 9:00-10:15. Again, we will take lots of pictures but I’m asking that only our room mothers attend due to lack of space in the room.  On Tuesday, December 20th, I welcome my students to wear their holiday pajamas  for that day. We will watch Polar Express and other holiday movies, drink hot chocolate, and eat popcorn on our last day to together until the new year.

Again thank you thank you thank you for all that you do! I absolutely love teaching this bunch of students. I tease them all the time that they’ll be with me until they turn 18.  J Great job on homework last night!



Have a good day!

I cannot stress enough the importance of having your child do their homework that night and having them turn it in the following day.  This is apart of our report card and I DO record it for their grade. Not having students return their homework in older grades will dramatically affect their report card. Please have them bring it back on time. Thank you so much with your help with this. I don't want students to get complacent that they can turn their homework in whenever they want. I do understand that things come up from time to time, but please send me an e-mail or note in regards to that.
