We have a super exciting and busy week coming up!

Our Holiday Party is this Thursday from 1:30 - 2:15.  A great big thank-you to our room moms for planning a fantastic time.  Please don't forget to send in your items for that special day.  If you plan on checking your child out after the party is over, please don't forget to do so before you come down to the party so you can bring me a slip from the office.  Thank you.

You have probably heard that there has been a lot of crafting in Room 124 lately.  If you would like to help us out, we could really use some more glitter.  We especially need red and green, but we seem to like all colors of glitter in our class. 

I wanted to let you know that if you would like to place your Scholastic orders on line without having to send back in the forms and money, our code for our classroom is K2YLD.  You will still have the option of sending them in as we have been if you would like.

Math:  In Math this week we will review our chapter Monday and test on it Tuesday.  Please look for a review sheet to come home Monday night. 
Also, don't forget that we will have a timed math drill that will be graded this Wednesday.  It will only include addition facts this time.

We will have a science Vocabulary test Wednesday.  Please make sure your child is comfortable with the study guide.  We have studied these words so much in class that they should be very comfortable with them.

If you have plans to go out of town a little early and your child won't be at school Friday, please email me so I can go ahead and give them their reading and spelling test.  Two weeks is a long time to remember that information.

Please don't forget to send Nancy's money on Monday if you want your child to purchase it.

I hope you spend this Christmas season making wonderful family memories with the people you cherrish the most.  I know I am incredibly thankful that I get to spend every school day with each precious face in our room.  I am truly thankful and blessed.  Merry Christmas to each of you!
