Super Fun Grinch Day!

What an absolutely busy and incredibly fun day we all had in kindergarten through second grade!  How the Grinch Stole Christmas was read and celebrated, activities kept us excited all day, and we ended with hot chocolate, a special snack, and a viewing of the Grinch movie.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped us out today!  This day could not have been done without you.  Also, thank you to the PTG, who funded the event helping us to purchase needed supplies for our activities.  This is a day that students and staff look forward to every year.  Having such a supportive community helps to make it all happen.

CONCERT INFORMATION ---

IF Wednesday is a snow day, our concert will be held on Thursday, December 19 instead.

Book Celebration Day

On Tuesday, December 17 the kindergarten through second grade classes will participate in a book celebration day.  The day will center around Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  The day will begin with a read aloud by Principal Marvin, and then students will rotate through a variety of theme-related activities in mixed grade-level groups.  The day will end with a viewing of the animated version of the movie.

"Grinch Day" will also be a Pajama Day!  Students may wear their coziest pajamas while celebrating the day.  Please remember to send your child with appropriate outdoor gear, as we will still be going outside for recess.

Hat Day

This is a reminder that tomorrow, 

December 6, is a 

Hat Day.  

It costs 50 cents to participate.  

The next Hat Day will be December 13.

Snow Gear

Now that winter weather is officially unpredictable, proper snow gear for the playground will be needed.  Please make sure that your child has snow pants, snow boots, (and shoes for inside), hat, mittens, and of course a winter jacket.  If you are unable to provide winter apparel for your child, please let me know.

A word on boots and snow pants:

In my classroom I allow students to leave their snow pants and/or sneakers at school over night, if I have a note from the parents.  This is helpful if your child has extra snow pants or sneakers, and reduces the risk of forgetting them or the need to carry them back and forth.  Leaving snow gear at school is not necessary, it is just an idea for families who choose to do so.  Again, I need written permission from the parent before I allow a child to leave belongings at school.  Remember, if we have an unexpected snow day and your child's only snow pants are at school, you will not have access to them.

Mark your calendar!
