Christmas

Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

We will see you back at school on Monday January 6!  :)

Thursday

Tomorrow is pajama day in Kindergarten! 

Come to school wearing your pajamas and bring a teddy or stuffed animal to school to spend the day with you.  

Reminder: Friday is a PD day so there is no school.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our Christmas Concert!  Please make sure you arrive on time and bring in a treat to share with the class.

Also, tomorrow the kids will be taking pictures with Santa.  If you would like your child to take a picture with Santa please send $5 to school.

See you all tomorrow! :)

Practice

Tomorrow is out last day to practice for the Christmas concert so it is very important that all students come to school and arrive on time tomorrow.

Please continue to practice the poems/songs sent home on the weekend.

Christmas Concert

The Kindergarten Christmas Concert is next week - on Wednesday December 18th.  

Each class will be presenting on their own in the gym followed by snacks in their classroom.  We ask all students to bring in a PEANUT FREE Treat to share with the class after the concert.  

Here is the performance schedule:

Wed December 18

9:00am - Mrs. Mancino's class

10:00am - Mrs. Giancola's class

12:45pm - Mrs. Evans' class

1:45pm - Mrs. Savelli's class

2:30pm - Mrs. Bambaci's class

Please arrive early or on time so you won't miss out on your child's performance.  When you arrive go directly to the gym to wait for the concert to start.  

The kids are excited to see you at school next week and show you all their hard work practicing!

Extra Clothing

Please make sure you send an extra pair of pants, a shirt and socks to keep at school.  Especially in the winter having an extra pair of socks can be very handy.

Occasionally children have accidents because they are having too much fun playing to go to the bathroom.  More often, they get wet playing outside or while washing their hands.  Making sure they have extra clothes at school will help your child stay dry during the day.  

If your child has become wet & we have used their extra clothes please make sure you send more to replace the ones sent home.

Airport

We have discussed places in our community and this month we have an airport in our drama center. 

First they pick up an "luggage" and have to buy a ticket for wherever they would like to go:

Next they have to go through security who checks them & their "luggage."

Then they board the airplane where they put their luggage under the seat.  The flight attendant helps them and gives them food & drinks.

It's Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend! :D

Christmas Concert

We have been learning songs & practicing for the Christmas concert (which can sometimes be difficult for some students).

Therefore, please speak with your child and let them know how excited you are for the concert and how much you really want to hear them sing.  Any and all positive encouragement at home will help them learn the words when we practice and will also help them overcome shyness at the concert.

Lunch

Many parents approach us and ask about what type of foods they should send to school; and how they can get their child to eat at school and at home.
