Just a Note
Time is flying!! We only have two weeks left of the 2013 school year!! We have a full schedule the next few weeks packed with family traditions and merriment!
It’s looking very festive in our classroom, come in a check it out! While you’re there check out the words for the word wall (psst… they’re written on the windows!).
Winter Concerts
Winter concerts are this Wednesday December 11th! Please have your child in our class by 5:45 for the 6:00 performance. It’s a good idea to have someone in your group find seats and someone bring your child to the classroom. Please take them to the restroom before coming to class.
Food Drive
The annual Canned Food Drive runs through December 13th. All food donations will be distributed in food baskets for the holidays.

Family Traditions
This week we families will be starting to come in and share some of their family traditions. Not every child will get do to every activity but every day will be special! Thank you so much to those that are coming into share your traditions with us.
Bowling
For our winter celebration we are going bowling on Dec 19th and 20th. The morning class will bowl at 9:30 at Crosley Lanes and The afternoon class will bowl at 12:30 (on the 19th). So our last day in class will be Wednesday December 18th. This is one of my favorite activities, it so much fun to visit with families and watch those balls roll slowly down the lane! And it gives us another chance to wear those Blue Shirts!! I will have a signup sheet out later this week. The price is $2 for children and $3 for adults. If you could prepay this week then we can let the bowling alley how many lanes we need.
Gingerbread Forest
Next Monday and Tuesday morning (12-16 & 12-17) we will be decorating gingerbread forests. We will have a signup sheet out for items needed for this activity. Everyone brings in something different and we share items to decorate our trees.
The afternoon class will be decorating on Wednesday December 18th with the BusyBee Class.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we will be discussing what our family traditions are during this time of year. We have some families coming into our class to share their family traditions. We will be finishing up our secret projects and doing some fun seasonal crafts. We will also be exploring the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the seasons. We will be making one of my family traditions Candy Cane Milk!
Word Wall
This week we will feature the letter Cc for Candy Cane! Please help your child bring in an item that begins with the letter C. We will only be sharing items that are related to the letter of the week, so if it’s not obvious please give us hint.
