Updates for the week, Winter Party Information, and More!

Hello, families!

This is such a busy time of year! I want to make sure information is communicated as clearly as possible for upcoming activities and dates to know. Here are some reminders:

• Our school GeoBee will be January 17 at 10:10. Please encourage your child to work on the review packet and the app in class or at home to prepare for the preliminary test, which will be when we get back from winter break. 
• Your kiddo could be showcased in one of these pictures on the right...have your student bring in a wrapped book up until winter break!
• Secret Santa gifts are due Tuesday, Dec. 17. Please email me to let me know if you need support in getting your child's gift. I am happy to help! We will reveal on Friday, Dec. 20.
• This Friday, Dec. 13 is Holiday Day! Have your child dress as festive as possible to celebrate the upcoming holidays. 
• Please return donations ASAP to our classroom for our holiday activities. We will be using them very shortly! If you are interested in making 50 sugar cookies for cookie decorating next week, please email me!!
• If you want to support our Holiday Party, which will be next Friday, Dec. 20, here is a link to the wish list for that. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050548aaa623a02-rbe4th
• There will be a note in Friday folders this week about snacks. After participating in Mizzou's Nutrition course over the past couple of months, our class is pledging to bring healthier snacks for snack time starting in January. Please help support this by sending your kid with a healthier option, rather than cookies, chips, or other junk food. Students will be asked to take unhealthy snacks back home if they come to school. Thank you for your support with this. 

Thank you all for everything you do! Stay warm!
