Recap and Upcoming Events

January has flown by quickly!  We have had a great month back at school discussing the properties of winter, nursery rhymes and fairy tales.  Our class helped with a Chapel Story.  Donuts for Dads(& VIPs) was so much fun!  The kids were so proud of their guest and enjoyed spending that special time together:) A special thanks to Grant & his dad for bringing the donuts and to Fletcher & his dad for bring the juice & paper products!  During this past month, we(with the help of Henry's mom, Lauren and Addie's mom, Jessica) have been working very hard on creating our class projects (handmade ceramic wind chimes) that will be auctioned off at the school fundraiser, La Margarita (La Noche).  La Margarita (La Noche) will be on February 27th - please be sure to get your tickets soon for this wonderful event!

       ->Each child will need an empty tissue box that they will decorate for their Valentine Cards. 
      -> Please bring the box by Monday the 8th.
      -> Please have your child wear a RED shirt
      -> Your child is welcomed to bring cards for his/her friends.  Just make sure there are enough for everyone in the class (we have 13 students).  I would suggest you do not put names on the cards to make distributing them easier for us :)
