MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A very BIG thank you goes out to all of the AMAZING parents who came in, helped with the party, and interacted with the kids.  They LOVED having you here and I appreciate everything you did to make today special for them.  Here are some pictures of our celebration today.

 

Here is a video of the kids singing “Jingle Bells”……hope it works, as I am not a tech whiz!

Make sure to practice dressing in winter gear over vacation.  Kids need to be independent dressers here at school.  A great way to practice is to set a timer and make it a game.  Can you beat the timer?  Or use a stop watch and record how long it takes him/her.   Can you beat the time?

Some of your children are growing quickly and things are getting tight and tricky to put on and zip.  Please watch your child get dressed in his/her gear to check on this.

 

 

Make sure to keep your child reading over Christmas break.  We often see kids lose skills they have learned because they are out of routine.  Reading is the BEST thing you can do to keep your child in learning mode.  It also gives you some one-on-one time.  A chance to sit and sustain.  A time to chat/talk about the story and make connections to themselves.  Please try to spend more time with books, than with screens this holiday vacation.  It makes a HUGE difference!  Thank you!

 

We will have library on Monday, January 8.

If it helps….stick that library book in your child’s backpack tonight!  That way you will already be ready for Monday!

 

Wishing your family a safe and relaxing holiday season!

School resumes on Monday, January 8.
