This week...

Thank you to everyone who sent in items for our gingerbread houses and came to help on Friday.  They turned out great and we had so much fun!! 

We will not have reading groups, spelling words or homework this week.  We are going to learn about Christmas Around the World and make lots of fun crafts! 

Thursday is Pajama Day!  Please have your child wear their favorite pjs.  They can wear slippers (please bring a change of shoes), and bring a small pillow and blanket.  We will be watching The Polar Express in the afternoon. 

Don't forget Friday is a half day for students.  We will dismiss at 11:00.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and enjoys the break!!
