Celebration on the 22nd

Happy Snowy Day!

I hope the snow day wasn't  too big of a inconvenience for your family.  I know it can be hard to find childcare and/or take the day off.

We will be celebrating our final day of school (22nd) before the break by having a Polar Express celebration. The kids are encouraged to wear pajamas, bring a small stuffed animal and /or blanket.  It needs to fit in their backpack.  Please don't let them bring anything that is very special to you or them as there is a good possibility it could get stained with hot chocolate. We will be reading the Polar Express and watching the movie. We will drink hot cocoa and eat snacks.  It should be a lot of fun.  Would you be interested in bringing a healthy snack for our celebration?  Some ideas would be cheese and crackers, veggie platter with ranch, already popped popcorn, trail mix etc.  I suppose we could have a few sweets too.  If you are willing to help, please email me with what you want to bring at martinw@billingsschools.org.   This way we won't have doubles of the same thing.

Wishing you well!

BRRRRR

Please make sure your child is dressed warm this week.  When there is snow on the ground students must have snow boots, snow pants, and gloves to play on the big toy.  If they do not have the proper snow clothes they have to play on the blacktop during recess.

Our holiday program is Friday at 9:30.  The kids have been working very hard on their performance. Hope to see you there! 

We will not be having reading groups this week as we will be assessing 2nd quarter reading levels.

We will also be working on our 2nd quarter math assessments.

We will not have a spelling test this week. 

In writing we will be working on publishing our how-to books.  We will also be working on writing a class poem.

In between our assessments we will be doing some fun holiday projects, including our parent gift!

Have a great week!
