All Aboard! Time to head to the North Pole on the Polar Express!

Story on the SmartBoard: The Polar Express  By: Chris Van Allsburg 

Our classroom chairs will be placed in 3 rows facing the SmartBoard so the kids can see and hear the story come to life. Before leaving on our make-believe train ride to the North Pole, your child will be given a ticket to be punched and a letter and bell from Santa at the conclusion of the trip.

 We are having hot chocolate and popcorn when we return from the North Pole!

 Project: The kids are making the Polar Express as it drives through the midnight snow.
 Our book exchange is this afternoon. There is nothing better than to give the gift of reading! Along with the book for the exchange, your child is receiving a book and lap blanket that I made. Now they can snuggle-in and read away!
 Music Today

 At 2:15 today, the whole elementary will come together and have a holiday sing along.      

   Coming home with your child today is a Holiday Homework Packet to do throughout the break. Return it on Jan. 3 to have lunch with me in our classroom. It is in their Wednesday envelope.
~It's time for Santa Elf to head back to the North Pole. She had lots of fun spending time with us and will report to Santa about all the good girls and boys we have in our kinderfamily!

~I want to thank all of you for sharing your child with me as you are helping me to continue my passion of doing something I love...Teaching! As you approach 2017, take time to look at that little cherub of yours and embrace their innocence, energy, and savor their youth because before you know it, that child is grown. May your holidays be truly special with your family and friends.

~See you in 2017~
