I hope everyone had a restful weekend before our last week of the first semester of 1st grade. I can't believe we're already half way through the year and I'm so excited to see what this next semester brings us! First I'd like to thank you all for supporting each student in our class with their return to school. It was every child's first time experiencing elementary school (with closer to normal experiences) and we really worked hard to build a collaborative community over the last 4 months. With it being new to all the students in our class we were confronted with so many new personalities and behaviors many of the children hadn't experienced before and every child has grown in their ability to communicate, collaborate, and be empathetic towards each other. We continue, every day, to remind ourselves to always look to understand each other's actions and feelings, so that we can build an even stronger community of love at our school. I've seen such tremendous growth in every child, and many of the bumps in the road we faced at the beginning of the year have smoothed out. I've seen so many new and beautiful friendships blossom, and I hope to continue to see more when we return from winter break. As we look towards our last week of school we have LOTS of fun events to close out the year. Tomorrow we will be mailing out the finished book the students created together and we're very excited to see it published into a hardcover book. For anyone who hasn't returned the signed paper stating yes or no to purchase a copy, please do so by tomorrow. Wednesday, 12/15 is the Winter Performance and there will be 2 showings you can choose to attend, 8:30 am OR 1:15 pm. ATTIRE: Please have the children dress in any of their favorite clothing items but they MUST be a solid color only. Please refrain from wearing anything with patterned colors or lettering on it. In class we will be making a crown to wear, so please do not put any headpieces on your child for the show. Friday, 12/17 is our last day of school! Our class will be celebrating by having a camp out reading experience. They can wear their pajamas, bring 1 blanket, 1 pillow, and 1 stuffed animal (they can choose not to, or to bring only a few of the items). I will be making a Mexican Hot Chocolate recipe, s'mores(but with no fire), and one of our classmates bought some delicious cookies! Everything is optional to eat, so if any child does not want any of the items, they are welcome to bring something yummy from home to munch on. School will be let out at 1:18pm and then they are free to enjoy their winter break! I wish everyone a joyful holiday season!
