Holiday Homework Packet/ NO SCHOOL REMINDER!
Students received a "holiday homework packet" this consist of skills that students can work on over the break. Parents expressed the need of trying to find something for their child to do over the LONG break! Please this was not intended for your child to do in ONE sitting. There is a total of 14 pages (this breaks down to a page a day just like regular homework) Most skills students should be able to complete on their own or with some guidance.

Holiday Party
On Friday, December 17 at 1:30 we will have a holiday celebration in our classroom. We will decorate cookies, watch a movie, and enjoy snacks.
To make our celebration complete, I am asking for parents to donate some treats for the students to enjoy. If you can, we would love to have cookies, brownies, chips, juice, veggies, fruit or anything you think might be good to send along. I have already been given cookies, and popcorn (THANK YOU!) I also already have enough plates and cups.
Please let me know if you plan on sending along any treats. Thanks for all your help and support!
