Dear Parents:
THIS WEEK WE: finished our Little Elf book and sent it home. Their handwriting is improving quite a lot when they have the handwriting lines to guide them. Polar Express day was great along with our holiday party. Everyone seemed to be pleased with their stocking. It was full and nearly overflowing. Thanks for your generous input.
NEXT WEEK WE WILL: be gone for winter break. Read lots of books together and enjoy family and friends!
When we come back, we will be reading books about the winter season and especially mittens.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: I would like for someone to come for about 30 minutes every morning from 8:40 to 9:10 to listen to the children read and check out a new book to them. Think about it over the break. If we have 2 people that can do it two mornings a week, would be great! Let me know if this would be of interest to you.
Community Outreach Project: We would like for everyone to bring a pair of mittens or gloves to put on a Mitten Tree. They will be donated to Least of These to be given to those in need. We did this last year. Least of These is a local organization and was so very grateful for our donation last year.
REPORT CARDS: will be sent home on January 9, 2010.
CARING KID: Cody is our caring kid representing compassion. Congratulations!
SNACKS: We are running very low. Please send for January. Thanks.
THEME: Winter Season
Have a safe and very Merry Christmas with your family!
Thank you,
Mrs. Donna Mountjoy
