Social Growth and Work Habits reports are in the folders! I also put some fun optional homework. It is a Gingerbread Man retelling page.

Reading bags are coming home today! Please have your child read these book to you over the weekend and return the bag of books on Monday. For now we are practicing being responsible with paper books and after the break I will send home reading group books!  

Thank you to the families who have donated marshmallows and toothpicks for next week. We are still in need of more if you happen to be out shopping this weekend! Thanks so much!!

We are going to be learning about the holiday traditions of families in our class!  Take a moment to talk with your child about the holidays you celebrate and the traditions your family has each year.  We'd love to hear what special traditions your family has at this time of year!  With your child, send our class an e-mail about the things your family does each year.  We will use these e-mails to spark conversations about different holiday customs our families have.  It would also be wonderful if you include a picture or two! Please send this email by THIS Monday. December 18th!
