As we are starting up the second half of the year, I wanted to mention some things that we will need to "wrap" up as we lost 2 days before the winter break due to snow. Many of you may be questioning if we are going to have our "Care and Share" celebration that was scheduled before break. The answer is...YES! I am sure your child was planning and preparing to make an ornament and we WILL be having the party. The party is now rescheduled for WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9th. Please have any materials needed for the ornament either by Tuesday or Wednesday. We will exchange ornaments on Friday, January 11th, but create the ornaments on the 9th. Please see that your child is ready. Also, if you were a parent that volunteered to donate snacks to the classroom for that party, please send those snacks with your child on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9th. Thanks a bunch in advance!
Your child may have his or her December reading calendar. If your child has met his or her reading goal and would like to turn in his or her December reading calendar, please do so as soon as possible. The January reading calendar is being sent home today, with a goal of reading 350 minutes. It is an option to complete the reading calendar. However, if your child does decide to complete the calendar, he or she will receive a Pizza Hut certificate. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!Prior to winter break, your child completed the social studies test on communities and geography. There are a few students that need to complete the test, so those tests will be sent home on Wednesday. Typically, I ask that you sign the test and return it back to me. You do NOT need to return the test to me, but if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me. Thank you!
Since we are halfway through the school year, we are continuing to become more responsible and work on our communication skills. One way we have been communicating is through our sharing portion of our morning meeting. Throughout the first two quarters, your child had the option to bring in something to share, such as pictures, favorite toys, etc. We are about to change our sharing to focus more on communicating our sharing rather than bringing in something to show and tell. Your child will still be able to share, but communicate his or her sharing rather than bringing something in. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact me. Thanks!If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks and have a great week!
Sincerely,
Mrs. McCarville
