December Notes

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a taste of winter here in Concord yesterday. Luckily, I got home from shopping just before the snow arrived. December will be a short but busy month. Report cards will go home and parent conferences are next week. If you have not signed up for a conference, it is not too late to schedule one. If the dates arranged are not convenient for you, we can choose a better date and time. December is a fun time for kids, and I have several projects and seasonal activities planned. If you celebrate a holiday other than Christmas, let me know so we can celebrate at school as well. We have many December birthdays, so I am planning a party for all birthdays next week. We will have a small Christmas party as well. If you were planning on buying any gifts for school, teacher or student, I ask that you purchase something for the class - coloring books, markers, play doh, paints, games, storybooks all would make great classroom gifts. Just wrap the gift, and your child can open it at the party. Everyone enjoys this event, as the gifts are really for all.
