Dear Parents,
Thank you for joining us this past Monday for our Celebration of Learning. The kids were very proud of their work and it was great to see them sharing their excitement with you!
The days before we go on Holiday Break will fly by, so I want to start the ball rolling now on a few items:
[1] I'd like to propose having a Cherry Pie book exchange for the kids the last day of school, Dec. 19th. Students should bring a gently used (and well-loved) book (gift-wrapped) to school that day. The books will all be placed in a 'Cherry Pie' pile and each student will get the opportunity to chose a gift to take home.
[2] I'd also like to have some sort of Holiday celebration on the last day (12/19). We could start around 1:30 in the afternoon, have the Cherry Pie exchange, eat some treats, make some art and then go to the library for a movie finale. Any parents interested in helping me out with this? Thanks!
[3] We need
extra hands in ART class for the next 2 weeks, on Tuesday from 2-3pm. The students are making huge "Advent" windows to use during the holiday Sing Along. If you can help, please drop me a line asap.
Here's a copy of the upcoming Homework Schedule. Thanks again for all your support!
