There is no spelling this week! We will be completing some wonderful holiday activities that go along with some of my favorite books. Ask your child each day about the special book we read and project that went along with the book.

Today, Monday, we read The Mitten by Jan Brett. Your child is coming home with their very own mitten filled with the animals from the story. Have your child retell the story and put all their animals into the mitten in the correct order. We really enjoyed this wonderful winter story!

Reminder: Send buckets for Gingerbread Houses by Wednesday! Also, our ornament exchange is on Wednesday. Try to have ornaments here and wrapped by Tuesday! This will allow me to make sure everyone has an ornament.

Tuesday, we will be reading the Polar Express. We will also be doing many fun activities with this book. Ask your child about them!

Wednesday: To finish up the Polar Express, we ask your child come to school in their pajamas on Wednesday. We will be boarding a "train" and enjoying the movie. Each child will be getting a golden ticket to board the train and they will also have a special treat here for them. This is always an exciting day. We can't wait!

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday! I will see you all in 2012!
School resumes on Thursday, January 5th!
