News and Other Reminders

*It is going to get cold and start snowing. PLEASE make sure your child is dressed appropriately. We go outside for recess EVERY day unless it is raining for 30 minutes. Snow pants, hats, mittens, boots, jackets, etc.

*Please help your child practice dressing independently at home- turning sleeves the right way when they are inside out, zipping coats, boots on the correct feet, etc. This helps us a great deal. Thank you.

*Please also make sure to LABEL all winter gear. Lots of things go missing and names help us find the owner.

*This week, we met with our 5th grade buddies to learn about a service project we are doing. Information went home in your student's folder. Mittens are due on December 18th.
