Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful week before our Christmas Break! Thank you so much for all the donations for our parties and all the wonderful Christmas gifts.

Have a wonderful break! The school will resume January 11th. See you in 2010.

Upcoming Event Information

• Our Christmas Parties will be help on Tuesday, December 15th and Thursday, December 17th from 11:45-12:30.

• We will be doing a book exchange during our party. Please bring a book that either a girl or a boy would enjoy.

• You do not need to bring a gift for each child in our class.

• Please check out the sign up sheets outside our door. The Monday/ Tuesday class has signed up for everything but the Wednesday/ Thursday still needs a few things covered.

• On MONDAY the 14th we will be taking Christmas pictures.

• Lunch bunch will be offered on Tuesday after our party. However, we strongly encourage you not to leave your child for rest if you attend the party. Two goodbyes in one day can be very confusing to them. There will be no lunch bunch offered on Thursday as the school will be closing at 12:30.

Oh my... We can not even begin to explain how busy we were this week in our class! We were only able to get 1 "action" shot of the kids. Here it is!We did however take a few quick pictures of the Christmas Crafts that are overtaking our room!

As crazy busy as this time of year is, we LOVE it in our classroom. We can be head to toe in glitter, have just stamped 20 feet and 20 hands, and don't even have time to turn the water off (see above picture) and would not trade our jobs for anything. Thank you so much for sharing your children with us.
