Newsletter Week of December 2

Our class was able to serve and help others today at the local Community Soup Kitchen.  It was a wonderful learning experience and all left with hearts full of warmth and gratitude. Thank you for all of your support in raising such wonderful children!  
I hope you have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family!

Note from the Teacher
       As we approach this busy time of year, our class will be participating in many fun learning activities and projects.  For several upcoming  projects, please send in the following items by Friday the 7th: 1 light bulb, 1 colored crew or knee sock, 1 pie tin pan  and 1 medium to large orange.
      We will continue to focus on academics as the 2nd quarter quickly comes to an end.  Please help your child come to school rested and  prepared to learn.
     As always, thank you for your continued support for your child and our class.  You are such an integral part of our success and we could not do it without you!
