Phonics Goals
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. the same applies for snow pants. It is up to your family.
In the month of December there will be many fun days for your child to participate in if they choose.
Please see the Principal Notes for all the events.
Here are some screen shots of the days coming up this week:
Monday:
Tuesday:
Wednesday:
Thursday: Library Book Exchange Day and
Friday: Half Day for Students (noon dismissal).
