Happy Monday! Our class is hard at work exploring our new units for the month of November and are looking forward to the upcoming holidays. As the weather is starting to get colder, please remember that we still go outside for recess. For recess if there is snow, your child must bring snow pants, boots, and gloves in order to play in the snow. Please remember to check the weather before sending your child in to school.<\/p>\n
In addition, thank you to all of those parents who volunteered, baked, or donated items to the Holiday Boutique. Our basket was the talk of the town! We couldn’t have done it without you.<\/p>\n
