Only 11 Days Till Christmas!!
Here it is…our final Newsletter for 2004. A lot has been going on here
at school. Of course, we are all
counting down the days until Christmas break…and Christmas day.
The children are so excited…then again I think all of the adults are
too.
I hope everyone enjoyed our Disney on Ice trip.
I was very impressed with our students’ behavior…they were great on
the bus and at the show!
A big thank you to everyone who donated to Toys for Tots during the Down
East Parade. Our boat was full of
wonderful gifts!
This week marks the end of the first half of our school year (believe it
or not). When we return after
Christmas break, I will be holding parent conferences to share with you your
child’s progress report. This
will be a very important meeting as we will not only discuss what your child has
learned but make plans on what we need to focus on during the rest of the year!
Friday is an early release day so school will dismiss at 12:00.
It will be a hectic day…we will have a school assembly at 9:30 and then
our class party when we return to the room.
Miss Vanessa and Miss Deena sent letters home last week concerning our
party. Parents who wish to set up
for our party may come in a little early…and please don’t forget that we
will need parents to help clean up after the party (wipe tables, take out trash,
vacuum etc.)!
Student presents should be brought to school on Thursday (if possible).
This way we can be sure that everyone will have a gift to open on Friday!
Just a reminder that students who arrive before the 8:00 bell should go
to the cafeteria. Many
kindergarteners are coming to the room before the bell…this is not a problem
as long as there is a teacher in the room.
If there is not a teacher in the room…please take your child to the
cafeteria or wait in the room with your child until Miss Eugenia or Miss Renee
arrives!
Letter/sight word rings have been removed. We will begin adding new letters/words after the holiday.
There are take home readers in folders tonight…let’s try to get a few
more nights of reading in before breakJ
Lunch Accounts…
Please make sure your child has enough lunch money to take him/her
through Friday. If your child owes
lunch money…Miss Minetta needs this in by Thursday!!
Speaking of lunch…we had a big discussion with the students today.
Many students are getting lunch and eating very little or buying extras
just to throw them in the trash. We
discussed that this is wasting food and money!
Check out our website…I’m adding new items/pictures
daily…hopefully I will have it caught up by Friday!
Christmas
Break begins at 12:00 on December 17th.
School resumes Wednesday, January 5, 2005!
See you in 2005!
