It is hard to believe that Christmas is only one week away! The week before Christmas is always so busy both in our homes as well as in our school. Hopefully we can all find moments to relax and feel the joy of the season with our children and families.
Kids tend to have lots of energy this time of the year, both at home and at school. That's just part of being a child. Of course, it's funny how this time of the year seems to increase the energy level of children and do just the opposite with us adults. Nonetheless, Miss Mary and I will be doing our best to keep up with our energetic little ones! In school this week we will finish up the projects we have started. We will carve out time to listen to songs of the season, watch a short Christmas video and talk about the best gift of all...baby Jesus.
Look at how our 3K children set up the nativity scene in our classroom during free play time on Thursday...that's adorable!
Upon morning arrival, if you find that the area by the coat hooks is wet due to boots, you may want to have your child/ren change into their shoes elsewhere. Feel free to change anywhere in the cafeteria area. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
This Week:
- December 18 - Rehearsal for Christmas Program (See last week's note that went home.)
- December 19 - Class as usual. *Miss Mary will be gone on Tuesday. Mrs. Gruber and I decided we would like to ask if there might be a parent volunteer who would like to help out in the classroom from 8:00 until 11:00? If you are Virtus trained and would like to help out on Tuesday, please reply to me via email and I will let Mrs. Gruber know that you will be with us.
- December 20 - Christmas Program (See last week's note that went home.)
- December 21 - Class as usual. We will relax and watch a Christmas video, sing songs, etc. (I need to attend a meeting at the public school for the first part of the morning. Mrs. Bartosh will be with Miss Mary until I return.)
Upcoming:
- January 9-Home & School meeting. The committee is looking for additional officers. New faces are always welcome!
- Week of January 28-Catholic Schools Week. There will be events taking place during this week that families are invited to. I will let you know when schoolwide plans are finalized.
