Thank you Rasmia, Sara, and Rania (our class room moms) for organizing in a little festive party yesterday in our classroom. The kids had a great time enjoying a light snack with gingerbread cookies and juice/milk, as well as listening to a holiday story, and taking home a goody bag. Thank you for all your hard work, room moms!
Today our students also experienced another festive event - the Winter Wonderland. They were buddied up with their 4th grade reading buddies, and together, they made different holiday arts and crafts, decorated gingerbread cookies and enjoyed some storytime with parent-volunteers. It is always wonderful seeing many of you volunteering and participating in TAISM events. We couldn't have done it without you and Betina, our parent-volunteer coordinator. What a fantastic event!
Starting today, you will see the pink communication book, and reading log in your child's green folder. I have collected all the guided reading books and other classroom library books for inventory. Please continue to encourage your child to read over the holidays, and read to your child at night. Feel free to log your reading in the reading log, too. After the holidays, the children will be bringing books home as usual.
Please note that report cards will be sent home tomorrow, Wednesday December 21st (the last day of school before the holidays). Inside your report card envelop, you will find the same math unit 1 summary checklist that you got in November for your reference. Unit 2 summary checklist and math work was also sent home yesterday for you to keep. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these assessments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
After school activities (ASAs) sign ups are now in progress. Ms. Lillie is already collecting the requests. If you have not returned the form yet and your child is interested in participating, please hesitate. The spots fill up pretty quickly, and we cannot guarantee a spot if you hand in the form after the holidays. So, HURRY! = )
Tomorrow, Wednesday December 21st is a HALF DAY. Students will be dismissed at 12:00pm. However, they will still need to bring a snack to school for the morning. Classes will resume on Saturday, January 7th, 2012.
Finally, I want to wish you a very happy holidays and enjoy the time off with your kids and family. If you are traveling, have a safe and fun journey. Happy Holidays and New Year to all of you. I will see you in 2012!
