Family Newsletter

Dear Families,

The students and I had a fun and busy week together!  This week we celebrated filling the classroom buzzy jar twice.  One time, we celebrated with a special “Show and Tell”, when the students had the opportunity to share about something special from home so we could learn more about each other.  Another time, we celebrated with a special lunch in the classroom together.  

This week, we also had several holiday/season craft workshops so all the students could create something special to take home to share with their families.  We hope you will look for these inside your child’s backpack in case your child forgets to unpack them..  This week, the students also had many opportunities to play and spend time together.  The students said goodbye to their friend Annabelle, whose last day with us was today.  Annabelle and her family are moving to another town.  While we are happy for them, we are sad to say goodbye to Annabelle but hope that she will visit and stay in touch with all of us. After our holiday break, we will welcome a new student to our class.  We feel excited about that! 

This week, we also cleaned and organized our cubbies, mailboxes and classroom.  Your child’s home folder and backpack is filled with all kinds of work and creations so please go through it at home together!

I hope you have a restful and fun holiday break together with friends and family. I will spend the first few days in Vermont with my family, then we will visit my daughter who lives and works  in Manhattan.

Have a great holiday break and Happy New Year! 

News and Reminders:

• Please consider sending in a grocery bag/plastic bag for your child’s snow gear.  Many times your child’s snowgear gets wet at/after recess and having an extra bag to pack in at dismissal will keep books and items inside your child’s backpack dry!  Thank you.

• There will be no school 12/25/23-1/1/24 due to the holiday break.  We return to school on Tuesday 1/2/23.

Have a great weekend,

Maria
