January 11 Newsletter

Families,

I'm so glad that we are back at school!!! I've heard that you and your children had a great break and a wonderful long weekend. I wanted to send this blog out so that you had an update on our classroom activities.

The gingerbread day and holiday party were a huge success. Thank so much for all of your help.

We are running low on our snack supplies. If you would like to send crackers, the kids enjoy Scrabble Cheez Its. They get a quick snack, and they enjoy writing words with their snack. Cheerios, Life Cereal, and gold fish are great too. The kids count their snack before they eat!

If you would like to help out in the classroom, please let me know!!!
