Enjoy the photos of your children as they designed their very own gingerbread houses. The smiles on the faces testify to the wonderful party we had on Tuesday morning.
Thank you for all the beautiful Christmas gifts. Everything was lovely. Please look for my first new year’s post in early January. Remember our first day of classes for 2012 will be Tuesday, January 3. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Monthly Archives: December 2011

December 19-20 Schedule
The last two days of school before Christmas holidays begin have arrived. Please note the following:
Monday, December 19 – Christmas Eve at school, wear pajamas and be prepared to play outside at recess times
Tuesday, December 20 – Christmas Party, school closing at noon
We will be playing outside. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather. When we come inside, we will be decorating gingerbread houses. This will be the highlight of the party. I will try to post some pictures over the holidays.
After we finish decorating our gingerbread houses, we will then be eating treats provided by some of our students. Food suggestions include: cookies, cupcakes, chips, clementines or other finger foods. If you can help in this area please email me or reply to this blog post. Presently, we have no treats for our party. I would ask that each child bring his own drink. Water is highly recommended as the children are usually very thirsty after decorating the gingerbread houses.
Due to the fragile nature of your child’s masterpiece, I would appreciate each child being picked up at our classroom door between 11:45am and noon, as this is a half day of school. Thanks for your cooperation. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
