Christmas Break is almost here! This last week of school will be very busy. Be sure to check this week’s (and last week’s) Thursday folder newsletter for information concerning the Christmas Concert—attire, arrival time, etc.

Puppet show—as you may or may not know, both of the first grade classes do a puppet show for the kindergarten classes and parents to watch. Ms. Chadwick’s class already did theirs, Pirate Pete, and we will do ours in January. It is called Pirate Pete’s Giant Adventure and is the sequel to Pirate Pete. I have had the kids indicate which parts they would like to play and will send home their lines very soon. Over Christmas Break, please have your child work on memorizing their lines. It should be lots of fun!

Book orders—sorry! Sending home Scholastic forms in November just completely slipped my mind and then I didn’t send home the December forms due to the fact that we had just had the Book Fair. I promise I will get back on track in January!

Classroom volunteers—the January sign-up calendar will be out today. So come down to the classroom to sign up for January time slots.

Frog Bog—here we are at the end of December and almost the whole class has made it into the Bog! The last few are getting closer each day. Keep practicing the words that are sent home—even if your child has finished the first 300 words. Attached is the picture from November.

Have a joyous Christmas and a relaxing Break!
