I can't believe that December
is nearly here! During this month, our classes will be learning about
different winter celebrations that are observed in December. We will be
exploring the differences and similarities between such celebrations as
Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. We will also be focusing on the letters
D,S, and P. We are trying a different format for this F.Y.I. in hopes that
the information will be more accessible to busy families with not a lot of
time to read. Please let us know if this works for you.

The Giving Tree
This month we are asking the
students to bring in either a new child-sized hat or child-sized
pair of mittens to place on the Giving Trees we have set up in
our rooms. All items collected will be donated to children of the
Rescue Mission in downtown Roanoke. Please be sure to send in the
mittens or hats by December 21st.

Classroom Gifts
We know that this is the
time of year when many parents are considering holiday gifts for
their child's teacher. In lieu of giving personal gifts to each of
us, we respectfully request gift cards or donations that can be
used for our classroom. Gift cards to stores like Toys R Us,
Target, and Kroger would be great.

Fantasy Land
On Friday, December 7th,
we will be taking a field trip to see Santa! He will be singing and
telling stories in Fantasy Land at the History Museum in Center in
the Square. We will need at least 3 parent drivers from each
class to help with transportation. Our scheduled time is
12:00. We will leave C.S. at 11:15 and return by 1:15. The
student's admission will come out of the Activity Fee you paid at
the beginning of the year. Admission for all parents is $2.00.
Please let us know if you can help. |
Pajama Party
Instead of the skating party
on the last day of school before winter break, we have decided to
have a party of our own! On Friday the 21st, we
will be having a pajama party. Please allow your child to wear
his or her pajamas to school on this day. If your child wants
to wear slippers, please be sure to send in a pair of shoes as we
will still be going out for recess that day.
