Dear Families,

You may have already heard the exciting news but if not, here is it.  This afternoon after music, a mysterious letter and package was left in our classroom.  Of course, the students and I had to open them both up right away.  Here is a look at the note.

So the students voted on the name of our newest member in our classroom.  His name is Elfie!

After I came back from dismissing everyone outside I found Elfie had already found some friends.  They had done “word work” and was practicing their words of the week!  Imagine that!  I think Elfie will fit in with our class!

A few other things:

• The students really enjoyed the PBiS reward this afternoon!  Thanks to Dominic’s mom for helping us.  Also, in order to make the reward in December, your child needs to stay on green 14 out of 17 days.  The reward will take place on Friday, December 23rd with a Holiday movie and hot chocolate!  Please encourage your child to make good choices each and every day in kindergarten.
• Field trip Update:  permission slips/money is due tomorrow.  Chaperones do not have to pay.  There will be room on the bus for chaperones to join us.

That is all for now!

Ms. Wright and Elfie
