December 12-16

The temperatures have been a bit up and down so far this month. During this time, I have noticed some students missing hats and gloves at recess. Please make sure your child has what they need to stay safe and warm at recess.

In addition to the soup can for our special art project, there is one more supply that your student will need. Each student will need their own hammer for the project. Students will need the hammer on Monday, December 19. If you have one to send with your child, please do. I have some that I can bring from home, but not enough for everyone. Please, no sledgehammers….

When packing your child’s snacks and lunches, please make sure to include any silverware they need. Lately, students have used the foil lids from the fruit cups or borrowed my “emergency” silverware. If it is helpful, you could buy a box of plastic utensils, and your student can leave them in their locker. Also, several of my “emergency” silverware pieces have gone missing. If your child came home with a fork or spoon that doesn’t go with your set, kindly send it back to school.

If you know that your family will not be able to attend the Children’s Christmas program on Sunday, December 18, please let me know as soon as possible so I can as accurately plan the seating arrangement for that service. 

Once again, our schedule for next week will be a bit fluid as we prepare for the Christmas program. As of right now, there will be a third-grade math test on Wednesday, a science test on Thursday, and the usual spelling test on Friday.

Finally, as I look ahead to the classroom party, I will again show a movie as part of the afternoon activities. I am looking for recommendations for winter-themed movies I could show the class. I have a Netflix account, so anything available could be an option, or other movies I could access for free. Thanks for the help!
