IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT, THERE ARE ONLY THREE WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS BREAK BEGINS.  THAT MEANS WE HAVE LOTS TO DO TO GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS AND SANTA.

 

FIRST, MAKE SURE YOU LOOK FOR THE GREEN DECEMBER CALENDAR IN YOUR CHILD'S FRIDAY FOLDER (IT CAME HOME ON NOVEMBER 30TH).  BE SURE TO NOTE THE DATES FOR THE HOLIDAY CONCERT.  WE ARE PRACTICING THE CHRISTMAS SONGS AND MOTIONS EVERY DAY NOW. 

 

WE WILL BE DOING JOURNAL WRITING ABOUT CHRISTMAS AND LISTENING TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT STORIES ABOUT CHRISTMAS.  WE WILL ALSO DO SOME CRAFT PROJECTS RELATED TO THE HOLIDAY. 

 

 HOMEROOM MOTHERS-IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN HAVING A "CRAFT PARTY" DURING THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  TELL ME WHAT DAY AND TIME WORKS BEST FOR YOU (MORNING OR AFTERNOON).  ALSO, IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR CRAFTS; I CAN REIMBURSE YOU FOR THE SUPPLIES FROM OUR PARTY MONEY OR I CAN SHOP FOR THE SUPPLIES AT MICHAEL'S (TEACHERS GET A SMALL DISCOUNT). I KEEP LOOKING ON PINTEREST FOR CLEVER IDEAS.

 

THE CHILDREN WILL ALSO BE MAKING CARDS FOR SOLDIERS AND WOUNDED WARRIORS.  BELIEVE ME THE CHILDREN ARE GLAD TO DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR SOLDIERS/VETERANS.  THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN THEY WANT TO DO GOOD.  IF ANY PARENTS HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR OTHER PROJECTS THAT CAN HELP US LEARN ABOUT GIVING-PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

 

FINALLY, I AM SENDING HOME SEVERAL BOOK ORDER FORMS FOR CHRISTMAS.  I AM TAKING THE PLUNGE AND STARTING TO ORDER BOOKS ON-LINE!  I WILL SEND THE NECESSARY ACTIVATION CODE HOME WITH THE ORDER FORMS.  YOU CAN ORDER THE BOOKS YOURSELF OR SEND THE FORMS BACK TO ME AND I WILL ORDER THE BOOKS FOR YOU ASAP.  WE EARN FREE BOOKS, IF WE DO THE ORDERING ON-LINE, SO, I COULD NOT SAY NO.  IF THE BOOKS ARE GIFTS-PLEASE MAKE A NOTE AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET THEM TO YOU ON THE SLY.
