Brrrr…Winter has arrived!  Students will need to wear boots to school and change into shoes upon arrival.  Even though the sidewalk may look dry, the snow melts out onto the sidewalk, the kids walk through the water and track it, and then they sit on a wet carpet.  YUK!  So, wear boots to school, change into school shoes (remember to put shoes in backpack at night!!), and we’ll be toasty warm and dry.

BOOK BAGS- I am holding off on sending home the BOOK BAGS until after break.  We are SO busy in here these days that it’s hard to find time to refill the bags.  I like to have each child read their book back to me before I give them a new one and I’m editing/revising their writing with each of them, which takes time.  we’ll resume after the break.  You can go ahead and send in any bags that are at home.

Strep is still in here…Our Claire has it AGAIN!!!  Wash hands.  Cover coughs.  Practice healthy habits.

Stay warm.
