Fox and Bear Community

We're wrapping up our winter assessments this week, and focusing on seasonal, fun activities. Please let us know if your child has a planned absence for the end of this week. Friday is a very busy day. Please see details below and reach out with questions. 

Free Dress Down Day on Friday - Pajamas are welcome in the Fox and Bear community if your student would like to wear them!

All- School Sing Along - Families are invited to join us on Friday at 1:30 for our annual Winter Sing Along event. Any parents/guardian who plan to take their child(ren) home after the event must sign the child(ren) out at the front office.  

Peace & Giving Celebration - see below:

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 by Thursday, December 18.  Please label your child’s gift with his/her name.   We will open up gifts together during our celebration. 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….We will have several gifts that we have purchased on hand for the children to open so that no one is left out at gift opening time!
