I hope you and your family are doing well!  My apologies on getting the last two blog posts out later than usual – I have been away for the last couple of weekends.  We are ramping up for our final month of school before the break.  These last four weeks will start getting busy…we are looking forward to entering into the Christmas season with this amazing crew!

Here are some things coming up:

Decorating the Classroom on Thursday:  We will be enjoying hot chocolate and decorating the classroom for Christmas on Thursday!  Please feel free to bring decorations to school – we will send them home again during our last week.  BYO Mug for hot chocolate, please!

Ice Skating on Friday:  Mrs. Shortridge reports that fun was had by all last week skating (photos down below). I (Mrs. G) am looking forward to taking a turn skating this Friday.  Please remember to bring skates and helmets!

Noon Dismissal on Friday!  

Christmas Party…Save the Date!  On Tuesday, December 19th we will be having a class lunch and Christmas party.  Each child will bring a lunch item to share along with a $5 wrapped gift for a class White Elephant Gift Exchange.  I will blog and send home a sheet that lists the food item each person will bring for the party.  This is always an exciting afternoon!

Poinsettia Pick up on Thursday & Friday:  if you ordered a poinsettia then please head to the lobby on Thursday or Friday for pick up!
