Thursday December 21 will be our Polar Express fun day! Students can wear or bring their (school appropriate) pajamas, slippers, bathrobes, and a stuffed animal (as long as it will fit in their backpack). 

We will be joining Mrs. Plummer's class and be reading the book: The Polar Express and acting out the scenes as they unfold in the story.  This is an in-school activity without an audience. Just loads of music and fun and maybe even a visit from a certain jolly dude! 

A reminder that Christmas vacation begins on Friday December 22nd and we return on January 2nd, 2024!

I want to take just a second to thank you all for making this year amazing for me. You are all so thoughtful, kind, and wonderful. I am honored and humbled to finish out 2023 with your children and I am so looking forward to a 2024 filled with so much love and growth! Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!!!

Please notice that your student's report card has come home today! Let me know if you have any questions in terms of scoring. Everything inside the envelope is for you to keep, but please return the envelope for the next report card! 

We have been having so much fun learning about the solar system this week! We know what makes day and night and that the sun is our closest star. How exciting! 

Books Read: Poor Pluto, The Solar System, The Sun: Our Nearest Star, Day and Night, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Reading workshop is going very well. We are engaging in daily practice of reading books at our level as well as exploring picture books that we might not be able to read yet, but that teach us about non-fiction topics of interest and stories that we can follow through pictures- even if we can't read the print. 

In math we are working with teen numbers, playing games with partners, formation of numbers, making pictures to match the number written, addition and subtraction practice and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week. 

As the weather is cooling down, remember we go outside on days above 10 degrees and as long as it isn't rain or ice. Fresh air is so important and I ask you to help me by sending your child with warm clothing and to make sure they have an extra set of clothing in case of emergency. 

We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)

Do you love the moon like I do?

Dear Families, 

Rabbit! Rabbit! Ask your child what it means if you are unsure! 

PLEASE remember that we are very busy at school and the sharing of toys, jewelry, hair accessories, and cash should not be something we are doing at school. It is confusing and distracting. Thank you!
