More info: The holiday party on Thursday will be from 9:30-10:30. The children are now eating in the cafeteria instead of the classroom. They need to be in there at 10:45. If you need to come in before 9:30 to set up, you are more than welcome. Also all library books are due this Friday. The children will not be checking out books this week, because of the holiday break. If you have a missing book and can not find it please let a teacher know.

As part of our International Holidays unit, I presented the Nutcracker Ballet today. The children were read the story and heard some of the music. They were also able to look at 2 nutcrackers we have in our classroom. On Friday, we will combine the book and music and dance to the Nutcracker. If you have a nutcracker at home, your child may bring it in for sharing. Please do not run out and buy one. We look forward to the fun activities we will be doing with the Nutcracker.

Today was the Holiday Boutique. Children who had money were able to purchase gifts and will be bringing them home. They were supposed to be able to purchase tomorrow, however P.T.A. was nice enough to let them purchase today. The children without envelopes or envelopes without money will be able to purchase tomorrow. If your child is sick, they will be able to purchase on Wednesday. *When your child wears snow boots to school, please make sure they have shoes to change. Not only do their feet get hot in snow boots but salt gets on the carpet. Thank you for your understanding.

Don’t forget we will be celebrating Ana’s birthday tomorrow (Monday, December 11) with a pizza lunch. Please DO NOT pack a lunch. We will be going out this winter if the temperature or wind chill is above 20 degrees. Please have your child dress accordingly. When there is snow on the ground, make sure your child has snow boots and snow pants. They will have to stand along the fence without those two items. This makes for some very sad kids. We do not have the staff to stay in with kids that are not dressed appropriately. Everyone will go out! Also have your child put on their own winter gear at home. We are trying to foster independence. Every child knows how to take on and off their coats. We only direct them, and not do it for them. Of course, we do realize that some can not do buttons and zippers and we will help or have them ask a friend. Parents and teachers work as a team to help the child grow and mature.
