*Weather - Excellent job of dressing for the weather! Many thanks!! Also, we are getting better at zipping our coats, etc. The first few weeks of winter were pretty hectic! It is fun to watch the students helping each other! What an awesome class.
*Giving Tree - Non-perishable items for needy families in Raymond.
*Home Reading - Thanks for returning the yellow sheet every day in ziplock bags. It is important for me to know that your child is reading the story for the week every night. Story this week is "Meg". Thanks for your help!
*Spelling - Fantastic!! I know you have to be so proud of your child's results on their spelling test and sentence dictation! Congratulations everyone!
*Pizza Day - Thursday, December 16 - Wear red and white! Money handed in by Thursday, December 9.
*Christmas Holidays - December 18 - Jan. 3!
*Lates - Try to have your child to school by 8:20 a.m. so that they have time to be ready for school to start. They love visiting with classmates and me before school starts.
Have a great week. Enjoy your"Crew"!
