December 2, 2013

Good Morning.
  I hope you all had a restful and fun filled Thanksgiving and/or Break.  It is hard to believe that we only have four weeks until our next school vacation.  No that report cards and end of trimester assessments are done, we will be right back into our regular routine.

Winter weather is upon us and appropriate recess attire is a must.  Please read the following note from Ms. Korb:

Happy winter everyone!

Thank you for helping your children be organized to bring bootssnowpantsa warm coat and other cold weather gear to school each day. We find that children that are dressed to play in the winter conditions truly get out and  PLAY, despite some initial grumblings about getting on their gear. If the snow melts away (let's hope it doesn't!!!!) and temperatures warm, we'll let you know if we change our expectations, but for now, all students are asked to bring this gear with them each day. 

Proper gear not only gets kids actually playing, but also helps them be focused on inside work when that time comes. Who can concentrate on math when your pants are soaking wet with melting snow? Boots, and different shoes for indoors, also help us protect our floors. 

Again, we appreciate your help in supporting your kids in getting in the habit of coming prepared every day. Thank you!

Notes:

*Reading Logs will be sent home today.  Please fill them out each night.

*New 1st Grade math Games/Homework will be sent home tomorrow.

I hope you have a great week!

Peace,
Tommy
