Week of December 11th
Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. This week will be a busy one in 2nd grade. Please remember if you signed up to bring things in, send them in by Wednesday, thank you. If you are scheduled to come in to volunteer, I thank you in advance as I may not get to, because things get rolling pretty quickly and sometimes I’m so busy I miss the opportunity. So, THANK YOU!!! I couldn’t do it without you!!! 🙂
Please remember to send in a Christmas wrapped book. Do not put a name on it because we will be doing a fun “White Elephant” book exchange with them. If for some reason your child does not bring one and does not want to participate, that is fine too. There is no pressure to purchase and participate.
As for the upcoming activities, I thought I’d give you a brief schedule of events:
Tuesday, December 12th – The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. (Parking in the morning will be a challenge.)
Wednesday, December 13th – We will have a 1:00pm practice/performance of the Christmas Pageant for those parents/grandparents who can’t make the 6pm show. Then, we will have the 6pm show in the Church. All children must be here (at the Parish Hall) no later than 5:40pm. When it is time for pick up at the end of the show, I will be with all kiddos in the Parish Hall. Do not leave unless you have let me know, please. This is for safety purposes.
Thursday, December 14th – Christmas Pajama Day and Polar Express Party. We will be having related activities all day and then our Polar Express Party right after lunch. It will be a lot of fun with the wonder and excitement of the season!
Friday, December 15th – Christmas Wear Day and White Elephant Book Exchange/Christmas Party. We will be having fun Christmas activities throughout the morning. Remember it is a half day, dismissal at 12:30 and NO CUB CARE afterwards. This is our last day before break. I will also be giving Christmas Break homework…this is completely optional and EXTRA CREDIT!  If you would rather your child DID NOT receive this, please let me know now, and I will not give them any. It’s just important to keep them reading and doing Math over the break, because right when we come back we have STAR testing again. Â
Lastly, there is a donation drive for the children of Father Joe’s Village for whom we are donating toys. If you are able to give a toy, that would be greatly appreciated. We will have the students that donate toys distribute them to the truck that will bring them down to the Village on Thursday. Thank you for your help if you are able.
Thank you again for everything this first 1/2 of 2nd grade! It’s been so much fun! I can’t wait to see what the New Year brings for all of us!
Blessings and Happy Advent!
