Our Star of the Week is Ruth!! We can’t wait to learn all about her!

The children will get the opportunity to shop for small gifts for their family members when we visit the Santa Shop on Tuesday. If they did not bring money in on Tuesday, they can still shop on Wednesday (or Thursday morning).

With only 3 weeks left before Christmas break, we have a lot to do! We will have a Christmas luncheon for the children on Thursday, December 18th. The class moms will contact parents for contributions. A note went home explaining that we need each parent to send in a wrapped book for his/her child (to be given to the children by Santa).

Please continue to practice math facts with your child at home. Flash cards are a great way to review addition and subtraction. “Counting up” to add is still a challenge for some children.

The Christmas musical is on December 16th at 7 p.m. Mr. DeVries will send home a notice with details.

Please return the form I sent home regarding the best time for our parent/teacher conference! I would like to meet with everyone before the Christmas break!

Have a great week!
