Week 15

Posted in Classroom, Holidays, Home Projects | No Comments »

Hello Everyone!

I must say, from coming back from a week long break, our classroom really responded this week with getting works done and showing more of their best!  Ms. Anna and I are very proud of them for how they are exuding their actions and hard work.  As much as we told them this week, please ask your child how they did this week and discuss what did they do this week that they feel the most proud of?  What did the class do their best at this week?  Students and kids alike are prone to be informed more about the negative and what is wrong.  Have your child always talk about a few positives for every negative that they might speak of.  Let’s continue the positive vibes going!

December Holiday Feast- Our holiday luncheon will be held on December 14th at 12 noon.  Here is the sign up sheet to sign up to bring supplies or a dish: LUNCHEON FEAST SIGN UP

International Festival- I went over the International Festival with our students this week.  We had a discussion about topics and read them the expectations that were posted in green and red last week.  Please follow those expectations.  If you are unsure or need clarification, please email me or find me after school.  My parking lot duty is by the fence on the north side.  Projects are DUE December 20th.

Holiday Classroom Party- I would love to do a holiday party for our students on December 16th at 12:45pm.  I have told Alicia the date as well, so if you would like to contribute a craft/activity idea, please let Alicia know at tempygirl@gmail.com.  Alicia will also want to know who can bring supplies and who would like to come in and help out!  That Friday, the 16th, our students do not have studio, so they will be at recess first from 11:30am until 12 noon and then will eat from 12-12:30pm.  After their clean up, we will have them come to circle to hear what activities will occur.

Upcoming Week:

Monday- PE class is on Mondays and since the colder days have brought boots, please make sure your child has sneakers to run around the gym in.

Tuesday- We have our 4th monthly lesson with Ms. Rachael Bush from 1:50-2:50pm

Friday- Early Out!  Please make sure your child is picked up at 1pm.  Lunch still happens on early outs 🙂
