Dear Families,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing
with a heavy heart, mourning the loss of life in Newtown. As I look
ahead to this week, my greatest comfort is that the children will be
focused on their "Writing to Make a Difference" letters and speeches,
which are all about caring for others and our world. As you know, we
are collecting food donations, pet supplies, and warm clothing of all
sizes for the homeless. We are walking to the First Parish Food Pantry on Thursday at 1:30. If you would like to accompany us, please let me know.
On Friday morning, we are having a Publishing Party at 8:20
to read letters and speeches. If you need to come in early due to your
work schedule, let me know, and you may come in early. It will also be
our "Slumber Party" day, so children are invited to wear appropriate
pajamas, hard-bottomed slippers, and bring a blanket, pillow, stuffed
animal, and a favorite story book from earlier years. If you'd like to
bring in some breakfast items, here is the sign up link: Breakfast Items 12/21
There
won't be any written math homework next week, but there is a variety of
daily practice available for all through XtraMath and ThatQuiz (linked
on our class page). Of course, the children should read every night, and
I will also encourage the class to borrow an ample supply of books for
the vacation.
To sum up:
12/20- Food Pantry Walk at 1:30- Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately.
12/21- Publishing Party at 8:20- You may need to park near the tennis courts as other classes are having celebrations as well.
Hope to see all of you soon,
Renee
