Marvelous Monday!

What a fun wintery day we had today!  We started with making one of our last surprises for you!  I have to say that they were all very careful when creating this piece of art just for you!  Also, we had calendar and our math lesson focusing on the number that is one less.  In the AM class we were able to read a precious story called "Santa's Book Of Names," about a little boy who learns to read when he gets to help out santa.   The PM class will get to read this tomorrow, but today we had our December art that our AM class had last Friday!  We made wonderful little snowflakes made out of coffee filters!  They turned out really cute!  The morning class had just a few minutes of Free Choice and the PM class voted to go outside for just two minutes.  Both classes practiced our songs for our concert on Thursday, and right in the middle of our practice, Santa came in and joined in singing with us!  Wow!  The students were super excited and surprised!  He read us the story, "The Night Before Christmas," answered some questions we had for him, and then we got to take a picture that will be in our memory books!  Santa was so nice because he gave us all a candy cane from the North Pole!  It was definitely a sight to behold!  

This week is such a busy, but a fun week, so please read all the information below carefully so you know what is happening!

Tomorrow is a normal Tuesday with reading groups!  Whew!
Wednesday:  Our ALL-DAY Field Trip is this Wednesday the 17th!  
  1. If you haven't emailed me yet how your child is going to get home that day, please do (parent take home from STA Five Mile Park and Ride, Pick up at Prairie View, or ride the School Bus Home, or other options). 
  2.  If you are volunteering for this field trip, please come to my classroom at 9:05 to get your student group list and scavenger hunt form.  I will have a brief meeting with you, than you may leave to go to the Park and Ride at the bottom of Five Mile.  Remember, we do not have room for parents on the school bus, so you will meet us at the Five Mile Park and Ride.  Don't forget to bring $3 for your STA bus fare.  
  3. If you are a volunteer, please review the scavenger hunt form that I sent you via email.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  
  4. Part of the scavenger hunt includes students visiting the post office downtown and purchasing a stamp.  I have counted out exact change for your child so that it goes very quickly.  The lines could potentially be long, so I suggest bringing two extra stamps in your purse or pocket so students can "purchase" the stamp from you instead of waiting in a long line.  If you do not have extra postage please let me know.  
  5. Volunteers please bring a camera to take 2 pictures downtown for our memory books, if you do not have a camera please let me know.
Thursday is our Christmas Concert!  The AM class will perform at 9:45 and the PM class at 2:30.   Please check in the office and wait until you are invited into the Multipurpose room.  The janitors are working hard to put the tables away from breakfast (AM) and lunch (PM) and put out the chairs for our concert. :)

Friday is our class party!  Students are allowed to wear pajamas and bring one small stuffed animal or pillow pet to cuddle with during the movie.  We have PE still, so please make sure tennis shoes are worn, not slippers!  Thank you!!  If you can help out during the party or by sending in treats, please email me ASAP!  :)  We still need helpers in both classes!

Winter break will soon be here!  Thank you for all your wonderful support throughout this year!

Happy Trails, 
~Love, 
Mrs. Wittwer
