Hello families!
Welcome to the last week of school before we enter into 2013!!! It has been such a fun couple of weeks and your child has been completing some fun writing projects in school. You should congratulate your child on their hard work when they bring them home on Friday after school. We have been working on writing with more details and to a prompt. They wrote a story using clues. They turned out great!
Here is a look at what is coming up this week.
Tomorrow we will get to watch the second graders rehearse for their gingerbread play! The kids are really excited.
Wednesday the kids will get to have their winter party. We are very grateful for the generosity of the parents that signed up to help with this party. We will have pizza and do a craft and play games as well! :)
Thursday we will be switching our art time from 9:10-10:10 to 1:25-2:25. We will also be taking our spelling test on Thursday because of the activities planned for Friday.
Friday the children will be watching a movie in the gym, doing a reindeer craft, and cleaning their desks. Lunch is from 11:00-11:30 on Friday as well so please make sure you send your child to school with money to buy hot lunch or with a lunch from home.
Remember that Friday is a half day. Dismissal is at 12:30. If your child is going home a different way than usual, please make sure you call the office, or send your child with a note. They will not be able to go home a different way unless we have a phone call, email, or note from you.
We will be taking a break from our math series this week because we do not want to start a new chapter when they will be gone for two weeks from school. We will begin chapter 6 when we return from break.
I hope you and your child enjoy their time off and I will be looking forward to seeing their smiling faces back at school on January 7, ready to learn and for a great second half to the year!
Happy holidays and have a great break with your kids!!
