December Newsletter

Upcoming Dates
Dec. 18 Seasonal Party and half day. Dismissal is at 11:25. Lunch will be served.
Dec. 20-Jan. 4 Winter Holiday.

Speaking of Seasonal Party…
We have twenty-three students in our class, and gift giving amongst the students can get pretty hairy. This year I am asking that everyone in class brings twenty-seven small items to be put into gift bags for the students. The cost should run no more than $5.00. Items can include but are not restricted to: pencils, pens, erasers, small toys, candies, etc. Last year, I found some of the best buys at the Dollar Store, Big Lots, and Walgreen’s ten-cent sales. Please have your child bring in his or her items in by December 17, so that I have time to get the gift bags ready. I did this project with the students last year and it turned out very well.

Book Orders
Due to the short month, I will not be sending book order sheets home until January.

Book of the Month
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. With the movie coming out, there are various versions of the classic story for all readers. The novel makes for a good family read as well as an alternative for children who are not quite ready to read the Harry Potter Series.
