Happy Holidays!

Crafts- Our classroom has become an Elves’ Workshop. We can’t tell you what we are making and please don’t ask your students what they made. They’ve already promised to keep their gifts a surprise. We will also work on wrapping gifts and practice our manners when giving and receiving a present. We can’t wait for you to open your presents from the kids!

• On Tuesday, December 16th at 11am in the Sanctuary, families are invited to see a short Christmas
  Program presented by our students, followed by light refreshments in Fellowship Hall.
  A parent or guardian is REQUIRED to attend the program OR you must pick your student up
  NO LATER THAN 10:45AM. Please let us know if your student will not be participating.

• On Thursday, December 18th we’ll have a Christmas party with food, games and craft

 

Reminders:

• Our classroom door opens at 9:25am and we start class at 9:30am. Please make sure that your student arrives to class no later than 9:30am (and has already used the bathroom).

• Students should bring a jacket, hat and mittens every day. (Mittens are much easier for students to put on by themselves than gloves.)

• Please continue to have your student work on our jacket trick and zipping/unzipping their own jacket.
  Students should also be working on taking off their jacket so that it is right side out. If your student has mastered those three skills, you can work on putting on mittens and gloves. We’ve seen great improvement with these skills and some students don’t need any help at all anymore! Great job!

We’re looking forward to a month full of wonder and excitement!
