Wiggin Street Parent Update

Dear families,

We had a blast this week! Enjoy all the pictures from our week before Winter Break. Our staff wishes all of you the best over the holiday season, and a Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays,

Christy Grandstaff

Thank you to Mrs. Springer for a beautiful Winter Program. The students sang beautifully and were so respectful. Holly Scoles also sang a beautiful solo that can be found below.

Bryn returned to do Yoga with students, and then they finished with yoga tag. When students were tagged, they had to pick a yoga pose and hold it until another student freed them!

Students celebrated the Iceland tradition of Jólabókaflóð (Icelandic Book Flood) yesterday. In Iceland, books are exchanged on Christmas Eve, and people spend the rest of the night reading. They take their books to bed along with some chocolate. Classroom teachers read The Christmas Book Flood in their classes for students to better understand the tradition.

Wiggin Street students chose books to take home to read over Winter Break. They also received a bookmark to go with their books to explain the holiday as well as a packet of hot chocolate mix courtesy of Friends of Wiggin Street.

Mrs. Clippinger's class had fun putting together their Lego's that Mrs. Clippinger gave them for Christmas!

Please remember that students will go outside on days where the temperature with wind chill accounted for is 20°f and above. Be sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather each day. Coats, hats, and gloves are necessary at this time of the year. Boots are required for playing in the snow. If you need assistance with winter outerwear for your child, please contact our school, and we will happily find warm clothes for them.
