Extra Mittens and Socks:  At this time of the year the boys and girls enjoy playing in the snow during recess.  However, this can lead to wet mittens and wet socks.  Please make sure your child has an extra pair of mittens and socks in his/her backpack. 

Shoes:  Please make sure your child packs his/her shoes into the backpack every night so there are shoes to wear at school.  In our classroom, there are a few times during the day when we sit on the floor for stories and partner games.  We do not want tracked in mud and snow on our floor.  In addition, your child is much more comfortable if he/she does not have to wear boots all day.  If your child has an extra pair of tennis shoes, I would recommend your child leaving an extra pair in his/her locker.  Thanks.

Parents,

It is hard to believe that it is almost December, and our Christmas activities are just around the corner.  Here are a few important dates and reminders:

Elementary Christmas Musical:  This will be on Monday, December 15 at 7:00.  The students are to be at school by 6:40.  For this program, please have your child wear his/her nice, dress clothing.

Classroom Christmas Party:  We will have our class party in the afternoon on Thursday, December 18.  The party will begin at 1:00.  I would like each girl to bring in a girl gift and each boy to bring in a boy gift.  The price range for the gifts is $3-$4.  It is very important to stay within this range so that everyone gets a gift of approximately equal value. 

Second Grade Santa’s Workshop:  We will be having our Santa’s Workshop on Tuesday, December 16 from 12:30-2:00.  We will be making Christmas gifts and crafts.  Each child is asked to bring in $1 dollar to help cover the cost of supplies.  Please send the $1 in by Friday, December 12.  This is a time when we need a few parent helpers, please let me know if you could help us this afternoon. (You will be very busy as a workshop helper.  Please make arrangements to leave young children at home.)

Please return this bottom section and $1 by Friday, December 12.  Thanks.

_____________  Yes, I am able to help at the Santa’s Workshop. 

_____________  No, I am not able to help at the Santa’s Workshop.

_____________  Attached is $1 for my child’s workshop supplies.
