Update December 16th

Hello Wonderful Families,
Thank you all so much for returning your LEGOLAND permission slips so quickly!  If you are purchasing a discount ticket and haven’t sent in your $27, please send it in on Monday, so all cash and checks can be deposited before Christmas Break.  Chaperone names will be drawn at random on Monday. If you are selected as a chaperone, your $27 will be returned to you.  
This week we will be doing a 5 day count-down to Winter Break.  Each day the kiddos will receive a small gift from me to celebrate.  Some of the items are food related. If your kiddo can not eat peppermints, whoppers, or animal crackers please let me know ASAP so I can make another arrangement.
Our “Secret Friend” gift exchange will take place this Friday, December 20th.  Student’s chose the name of their secret friend last week. Student’s need to bring a wrapped $10 gift to class by Thursday December 19th.  Please have students write who the gift it “to” but leave the “from” blank or just write “secret friend”. When we exchange gifts on Friday, it’s fun for the kiddos to guess who their Secret Friend is. 

 Friday will be an ugly sweater or pajama day, so send kiddos to school in their holiday sweater or jammies. 
We have been visited by Yuli the Yeti these last couple weeks.  Yuli hides in our classroom each day and brings us an act of kindness challenge to complete each day.  To end our 3 weeks with Yuli we will be watching the PG movie “Smallfoot” on Friday afternoon( Shhhhhh, it's a secret). Here is the trailer to the movie:
