Mrs. Q’s Update 12/3/10

TN_04-09-09_37MBOh the joys of winter weather!  Along with icy roads and freezing temperatures, come lots of winter clothing for students!  Moms and dads, it would sure help me if you could label everything as best as you can!  We have 27 pairs of boots, hats, gloves, scarves, snowpants and jackets!  That’s a lot to keep track of!  One good idea I have seen for hard-to-label items is to use masking or duct tape on the inside and write on that.  Even just initials help us identify whose black snowpants these are!  Also, encouraging your children to zip their own coats helps too.  Second grade is all about encouraging independence, so this is a good place to start!

An announcement to note for next Friday, Dec. 10, is that your students have earned a pizza party!!  I told the class if we could all make our goals for Reading Counts, I would treat them to pizza!  So don’t send a lunch next Friday, unless your little one doesn’t like pizza.  We’ll have pizza, drinks, and watch a special movie for lunch that day!

Our Holiday Party will be held on December 17th, from 1:00 – 2:00.  A red note was sent home about how we are doing our class gift exchange.  You may also check last week’s update if you missed the note.

I sure hope you are enjoying December!  It is easy to get caught up in hub-bub of preparation.  I know I personally, am trying to slow down, enjoy the lights and music, and celebrate the reason for the season!

Happy Holidays!  -Mrs. Q
