Dear Parents,12/20/16

It has been a joy to spend the days leading up to the holidays with your children. We had a magical field trip to The Grove Park Inn. We are watching the Polar Express and working on social skills as we play favorite board games. Students are sharing with their friends and practicing explaining directions. Have a wonderful winter break from Dec. 21- Jan. 2. Remember to read. I am putting a reading challenge log from Ms K in reading folders. You may use this over the holidays or use our class reading log. I am also putting some math practice sheets in the reading folder.

Cooper will provide snack the week we return. A special thank you to Cooper and Caroline for taking care of Sandy, our hamster, over the break. If your child wants to take Sandy home over the weekend, just let me know.
