The Christmas themed poster went home of Friday December 5th. Please help your child fill out the form NEATLY and COMPLETELY using their BEST handwriting and coloring. Make the Poster as FUN as you can. Presentations will be the week of December 15th. I am asking that the students read their chosen Christmas CHAPTER book for the weekly reading logs if they have not already finished reading their books.
Christmas break is a time during the year that our AMAZING Maintenance staff takes the time to DEEP clean the classrooms. To help them out the students are asked to bring in an old backpack or reusable grocery bag to put their desk items in over the break. These bags are them hung on the student’s hooks. Please have these to school by Wednesday December 17th. If your child is leaving before the 19th please let me know so that I can have them empty out their desk before leaving.
