The children have continued to explore winter holidays and we have been discussing the concept of giving to others both with material gifts as well as acts of service.  During your time together over the break please continue to read with your child.  Your children will be bringing home a wrapped gift for their families.  Please make sure that they take it out of their bookbags to share with you!  We hope that you all have an amazing holiday break spent with family and friends.  We'll see you in the new year!

Dates to Remember

December 18  Peace and Giving Celebration

Upon return to school please make sure that your child has a set of headphones that they can keep in their backpacks.  Your child will also need to have a reusable water bottle to keep hydrated throughout each day as the drinking fountains are closed.  The students will need to continue to be diligent with hand washing and social distancing to ensure their health and safety in the school building.

The children have spent the week exploring winter holidays around the world.  The coming week will be busy with activities and we are excited to help the children prepare to celebrate their family traditions.  The Festival of Lights was beautiful and we appreciate the turn out with so many children present and actively involved in singing and celebrating!

On Friday, December 17th we will be winding down with a holiday movie and hot chocolate. If you are able to send in hot chocolate mix an thermal cups we will provide the milk!  If your child is dairy free please let us know so that we can accommodate their needs.  Please also let us know if your child will be missing any school next week so that we can ensure they bring home holiday gifts.  

Peace and Giving Celebration            

 

Our Ellis Families are so kind and gracious, especially at this time of the year. As you are shopping for gifts in the upcoming weeks, in lieu of teacher gifts, please keep our classroom needs in mind.

The children will be talking, writing, and learning about how sharing and thinking of the needs of the whole class makes a peaceful classroom.  To become a peacekeeper is our goal.

Please look over our wish list. If you wish to purchase a gift for the class, send the wrapped gift in on Thursday, December 16th.  Please label your child’s gift with his/her name.   We will open up gifts together during our celebration on Friday, the 17th. The children will gain a stronger sense of responsibility for our community resources, and will, of course, be thrilled to see “their gift” put to use.  If you are unable to send in a gift...do not worry….I will have several gifts that I have purchased on hand for the children to open so that no one is left out at gift opening time!
