This week we will continue to work on the concepts we began last week. Due to concert rehearsal sessions, we did not get to all the material we had planned. Your children have done such a wonderful job decorating our hallway with their best work. We have Hanukkah, Christmas, Los Posadas and Kwanzaa crafts in our hallway. Please take a moment to look for your child’s crafts when you come to the concert. We will have a small class celebration on Thursday, December 21st. We will also have a grab bag exchange. On Friday, we sent home our grab bag exchange letter. Please let us know if you did not receive it. We still need a seasonal change of clothes for many of the students. Please send in as soon as possible. The children sometimes spill drinks on themselves or get wet on the playground.
Message: Shaine was the first student to take Lulu, our class fox, home for the weekend. Lulu had a wonderful time with Shaine. They made a fire at the mountain home and built two Lego Super Heroes. Lulu and Shaine decorated their Christmas tree, went snowboarding and saw the Nutcracker. Lulu had a wonderful weekend with Shaine and his family. This Friday, Henley will be taking Lulu home for her next adventure. Lulu will stay with m e for the winter break and then visit the next student chosen once we return from our winter break.
