Notes from Mrs. Shelton:
•We will have our Polar Express Christmas Party on Friday. Your child is to
wear their pajamas and come ready for some fun! Since the cafeteria is
closed that morning, we will be having brunch in the classroom for our
party. If you are interested in helping, e-mail me or send in a note and I
will pass it on to the room moms. Our party typically begins around 9:00 and
we go home around 10:30-10:40.
•PLEASE be on time on Friday—10:40!!!! The traffic gets very congested since
the 1st and 2nd grade are released at 11:00. In addition to that there will
be many cars on our campus for parties. PLEASE be on time or early!
Thanks!!!
Thought for the week:

Homework:

tell the sound and letter it begins with, and where you go it.
