Katlyn's Class

I was shocked to see no one brought in turkey sandwiches for lunch! I hope everyone had a wonderful break. Thank you to everyone who came to the Thanksgiving Luncheon and Art Show. It was great to see you all there with your child.

This morning I switched out our books from Thanksgiving books to Winter books. In December, we'll learn all about different holidays celebrated during this month. If you and your family have a tradition in your home for a holiday, please let me know! We'd love to have you come in and teach us about your tradition. Your tradition can be anything from celebrating Hanukkah to my family's simple tradition - hiding a pickle ornament on the tree. Another tradition in my family is making cookies together. If you and your family do this during the holidays, please feel free to come in and make cookies with us! ;) We have a very diverse class and would love for our class to not only get to know one another better, but also learn about their classmates' culture.

This morning we worked on a journal page. I read If you Take a Mouse to the Movies by Laura Numeroff. We then talked about where we'd take a mouse if we had one of our own. The children had wonderful stories to tell! Some of them would take their mouse to school, while others would treat them to an ice cream stop or a shopping spree.

Please remember to change out your child's spare clothes if you haven't already done so. Many children have tank tops and shorts for their spare clothes still.

*A couple of students came in without a sheet or blanket today. No worries! They used extra sheets, so I'll continue with those sheets through the week. However, do send in their blankets tomorrow. I know it is hard to remember things after a long weekend!! :)
