The snow got us all thinking about a day off, so......We read the book Snow Day! by Lester L. Laminack. Then we wrote stories about what we would do if we REALLY had a snow day!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Please remember tomorrow is an early dismissal day for students. They will be dismissed at 1:40p.m. If your student will be going home a different way than usual, please let me know. Thanks!!!

I'll see you tomorrow morning at Breakfast With Santa. If you are planning to donate a toy or gift card to our adopted school in Joplin, you could bring it with you in the morning. Look below for our wonderful buddy activity we did today involving our friends in Joplin!!

Making ornaments for our friends in Joplin

                                           It takes a lot of patience to make glass ornaments.

                                           Our fourth grade buddies were kind enough to read
                                           to us while we swirled the paint inside.

                                           They are wonderful readers!!

                                           Notice the total concentration!

  After making the ornaments, we made some Christmas cards to send along with them. The students had a wonderful time describing how much fun they had making the ornaments and how they were made very specially just for their friends in Joplin.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I enjoyed my time off, but am always eager to get back to school.
Here are a few things you might want to put on your calendar. Breakfast With Santa is this Saturday morning. I will be working at the breakfast somewhere. I haven't yet received my assignment. Dec. 7th is an early dismissal day at 1:40p.m. The winter music program is Dec. 14th at 9:30a.m. Our classroom party will be Dec. 16th at 2:00p.m.
One thing I am very sorry to tell you is I will be missing our party this year. I will be on a plane to Ithaca, New York that day. My daughter is graduating from Cornell University. However, I do have a wonderful substitute lined up. If you are the head room parent for this event please send me an email and we can plan things a little in advance so I can give my substitute a heads up.
