Last 4 days till Winter Break! We will have lots of fun with gingerbread playdoh and other holiday themed crafts and activities. The parties are still on Thursday, which is an early out. 10:00am and 2:20pm dismissal on that day.

Please let me know if you are leaving early for break or if someone is sick, so I can let the office know. Thank to everyone for letting me know when your child is going to be out or is sick, it helps the office and the nurse when I can let them know about absences.

For math we are going to continue working on AB patterns, candy canes are a fun way to make different patterns with different colors. There are several holiday ways to work on patterns.

For our calm down strategy, we are relooking at our S.T.A.R. breathing strategy. Stop.Take a slow breath. And. Relax.

The holiday party for both schools will be on December 15th. The parties will be at 8:50 - 9:50 and 1:10 - 2:10.

*If there is a special snack or treat that you would like to send in for the party, please feel free to do so. Please make sure that they are individually wrapped, in case they need to take home to enjoy.

Thank you for all the support for the parties.
