Dismissal
Friday the children were given back artwork in art class.
They brought these giant envelopes of artwork home!
The art trimester is almost over.
It was a good week!
Maybe your child shared about undercover staff spirit week?
(The staff did some unusual fun things and waited to see if
the children noticed we were all doing them together).
I hope your child's school picture made it home to you to preview!
If you would like to have your child's picture taken again,
mark your calendar for Picture Retake Day on December 5, 2024.
Next Week:
More learning about fish and aquatic habitats! 🐟 🐠
The cold weather is here. Please remember we go outside daily whenever possible, so warmer clothes are needed. When your child wears boots to school (due to rain or snow), please have a pair of shoes available (no slippers please). The boots will stay in your child's locker and clean shoes will help keep our carpet and classroom floor dry. If you have an extra pair of sneakers they can stay in your child's locker rather than travel back and forth daily. It is up to your family.
