Who’s counting down to the break?  WE ARE!  Only sixteen school days left until we are out for winter break!  While we are all excited, this is also the time of year when staff and students start getting sick.  There does seem to be a bug going around the room.  This is just a friendly reminder to keep students home when they are not feeling well, and that they must stay home 24 hours after the last signs of vomiting, diarrhea or a fever.

Tomorrow, and for the next two Friday’s after, students may bring in ONE Christmas movie and students will vote on which one they want to watch in the afternoon.  This is just something special we like to do during this time of year as lessons are wrapping up and we hold off introducing new curriculum until after the break.  It’s also a nice reward for students who work so hard during the week.  The movie dates will be:  Dec 2, Dec 9, and Dec 16

On December 23, we will be going bowling and having a pizza party at Ford Lanes.  Cost is typically around $10 per person which includes two pieces of pizza, pop, shoes, and two games of bowling.  It is a great time that we always enjoy!  When I made the reservation, they were not able to give me a price because their field trip forms were missing.  Once the price is confirmed I will put the information on the blog.

One more thing!  Back to cold and flu season, if each student could bring in a box of kleenex to be shared with the room that would be very helpful.  We do not have a supply here at Hype other than the paper towel in the restroom which is not very soft!  We do get some tissue from Howe, but it is paper thin and we are going through it like you wouldn’t believe.  Thank you in advance!

Have a great weekend!
