Upcoming events

Just a reminder that tomorrow is PJ day for our Polar Express Party. 

Also, we have two large projects coming up after the winter break.

100th DAY!

Our 100th day of school will be toward the end of January.  The official date won't be set till later depending on snow days!  For this special date you will need to make a 100th day hat with your child and send it back to school from Jan. 6th-17th.  I am telling you know as you might have time to work on it during the break.  Please look for a note coming home this week in folders with details about the hat :)

Children around the World

During this social studies unit we learn about many things from children all over the world.  This includes celebrations, traditions, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, location and more!  We always invite parents to come in and share their traditions and celebrations.  Some families have a strong heritage or culture they might want to share about.  In the past, we have had parents share about Irish dancing, Chinese New Year, Chinese clothing and food, Indian clothing, Muslim traditions and celebrations and more!  Some of you might be thinking well our traditions and celebrations are the same as most families.  Well that is still okay!  I have also had families share about St. Nick's Day, Christmas ornament traditions and other similar things.  The kids love any parent who is willing to share and they love when their own parent comes!

We will be having parents come from Jan. 6th- Jan.31st during our social studies time from 2:00-2:35.  Please let me know if you would like to come!  Also, if these times do not work for your schedule let me know and we can try and come up with an alternate time.  If you plan to share, will you also give me a little heads up on what you might be sharing about.

THANKS FOR HELPING US LEARN!
