Things to Know on Our Last Week Before Christmas Break!{Polar Express Party/Singing Performance/No Spelling}

There are many things happening this last week  before Christmas break and I wanted to make sure you were aware of all of them.

 

Ms. Staley's Annual Polar Express Party!!!
Coming THIS Tuesday, December 17th!

 We are all so excited for this fun day. It is the best party of the year! Here are some tips to help make the day run smoothly.

• Your child can wear pajamas or a robe, but make sure they are appropriate for the weather. They can be worn over regular clothing if they wish.
• The children can bring slippers to change into once they get to class and the party starts. Make sure they have good shoes to wear coming to school and going home at the end of the day.
• If your child wants to bring a pillow and a blanket, please put it in a large garbage bag with their name on it. They can also bring a stuffed animal friend but it needs to be small enough to fit in their backpack or the garbage bag. They can also bring treats to eat while watching the movie and snuggling with their animal in the afternoon.
• Please make sure your child brings a small gift, $5.00 and under, for the gift exchange. It's best if you can send something that would work for either a girl or a boy. 

 This Wednesday, December 18th, is Eastlake's Christmas Performance for the Parents. We have learned a fun trio of songs for you. 2nd grade will be performing around 2:30 p.m. The gym is very crowded for this as all of the grades will be performing. If you want to listen to all of the grades it will start at 1:45: 

Times are as follows: 5th grade @ 1:45; 4th grade @ 2:00; 6th grade @ 2:15; 2nd grade @ 2:30; Kindergarten @ 2:45; 3rd grade @ 3:00; 1st grade @ 3:15.   

 Guess what? My Christmas Gift to you is that:

• There is NO December Book Report
• There will be NO spelling or Fluency this last week of school!! Yay for all of us!

I hope all of your families have a wonderful 2-week Christmas break. I am so looking forward to spending time with my mom and kids. We love to watch Christmas movies and play games. I hope you have fun doing the family things you enjoy. School will start back up on January 6th!
