The Mitten Tree and More

*The Student Council is collecting new or lightly used mittens, scarves and hats to donate to those in need. They will be collecting these items until December 19th. 

*Our class Holiday Party will be on Friday, December 19th at 10:55 am. We will make a fun craft and enjoy yummy snacks. Parents are welcome to come and celebrate with us.

*Winter break is from December 22nd-January 2nd. 

*We just began our Gingerbread Study.  We are reading a variety of different Gingerbread books and then we are writing, labeling, measuring, drawing, creating diagrams all about Gingerbread men.  Students love this unit and it's so much fun to see their creativity at work.

I hope everyone enjoyed some rest and relaxation with their families over Thanksgiving break.

Tomorrow, Wednesday December 3rd is a Late Start day.  School begins at 11:30 and students eat lunch at school as normal at 11:40.

The December Scholastic book order will sent home on Friday.  You are also welcome to order books online at https://clubs2.scholastic.com, our classroom code is H6MZ7.   If you choose to return your order form to me, please send it to school on Monday, December 8th to ensure the order arrives before Winter break.  If you choose to order books as gifts, I'm happy to make arrangements for pick up when the books arrive.

Kindergarten winter literacy assessments will begin December 15th.  Please continue reading with your child and helping learn the monthly sight words. December's sight words are: yes, no, cat, dog, big, red, run & by.  I'll send them home on card stock on Friday.

Thank you to all who donated disinfecting wipes, we now have enough to last us for a while. :)
