December 2019 Newsletter

Happy December, families! There are many new and exciting things coming up this month I want to keep you informed about.

1. FOLDERS

• Please check folders and empty them every night. Everything can stay at home unless it is environmental print homework or a permission slip.

2. FESTIVAL OF TREES

• Our field trip is THIS Friday, December 6. The bus will leave school promptly at 9:30am so please make sure you are at school on time.
• (Please note: parents will not be allowed into the event unless you have a chaperone wrist band. We can only have one parent volunteer for our class. Please let me know if you are interested.)
• For this event you are going to write a letter to Santa AT HOME, and then we will mail them to the North Pole AT THE FESTIVAL. This homework is in the folders tonight. PLEASE RETURN THE LETTER TO SCHOOL BY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6! 

3. ENVIRONMENTAL PRINT HOMEWORK

• This week we are studying the letter Tt and the homework page is in the folders.
• Many students are thinking of words that start with the letter T. HOWEVER, environmental print is looking for words they see every day that begin with the letter of the week. For this week think of things like Target, or Tajin spice, or Lake Tahoe (from signs all around town).

4. WINTER CLOTHING

• Yes, the snow is finally here. The clothing rule is: If there is snow on the ground, students are required to bring snow jackets, snow pants, boots, and gloves. (This rule still applies even if it is not snowing or raining each day).
• Without these items your child will not be allowed to play in the snow at recess to keep them dry.
• If you need help getting any of the items, please let the front office know!

I look forward to a wonderful December exploring kindness and giving, and more academics with your student! If you have any questions just let me know.
Mrs. Ervin
