A Call to Arms!

We NEED your BOX TOPS!

Our school is in the midst of a Box Tops for Education collection contest.
Box Tops = funding for your school!
(Awesome!!!!)

The Best Part: If we are the class that collects the most BOX TOPS we win a fabulous prize!!!! (Which I think is a trip to 'Pump it Up'!!!!  [Which I've never experienced but have heard amazing things!]  but I have no idea.)
So! LET'S DO IT!We have a great start! So KEEP IT UP!
Call Grandma and Aunt Betty, email Papa and Tio Paul, the Neighbors and old school friends!
Have them join the cause and start sending them in! 

Go now and Scour the Grocery Stores for BOX TOPS !

Welcome Back from Break!

December News

What a busy month we had in kindergarten!

We began our celebrations when we learned about St. Nicholas Day and Mikolaj. We celebrated Hanukkah as we learned about the menorah, the history of Hanukkah, and how to play dreidel! We continued celebrating as we learned about the traditions and history of Kwanzaa. Our class was very excited to learn more about Christmas and how it is celebrated through different traditions!

A special THANK YOU to everyone who was able to join us for decorating Gingerbread Houses!
We had a great Family Night, enjoying our SmartBoard fire, sharing Hot Chocolate and reading “Gingerbread Friends” with our friends and their families!
It was a great night of holiday fun!

( A really sweet design! )

Our Holiday Party was a blast! We met with two other Kindergarten classes in our Pod (the Hallway Classroom just outside of our door) for exciting Winter themed games and we loved making snowman ice cream sundaes!

Green Ticket Party!

We had a great week!
Our class was pretty sad after getting our Red Ticket on December 1...

So the class decided to be so great at lunch so that we would get Green Tickets all week!

They did it!

We were so proud of ourselves that we threw a party! We had lunch in our room with music, decorations and dancing!
Later in the day, we even celebrated our hard work with a popcorn party!

(We worked so hard this week we might just make every Friday a party!)

Finally! Pictures!

I think it worked!
Check your email, you should have an invitation to view our pictures on Flickr!
If not... email me or send in a note.

I don't want you to miss out on our adventures!
