LARGE GROUP THIS WEEK
As stated in our weekly email, your child is invited to wear his/her pajamas to our large group meeting this week! We will also be inviting children to enjoy some hot chocolate with us and make a jingle bell necklace. Our plan for activities during the meeting will be: 1) Make a jingle bell necklace (simply stringing beads and jingle bell onto string) 2) Listen to read aloud of The Polar Express while enjoying hot chocolate FUTURE PACKET PICKUPS Our schedule for upcoming pickups will be: Jan. 11th Jan. 25th Feb. 8th Feb. 22nd SCHOOL SUPPLIES If there is something that was included in your original supply kit and you are running low on it (glue stick, crayons, paint, etc.), please let either Mrs. Schmidt or I know via email and we can include an extra in your child's next pickup. ZOOM TIMES 2nd SEMESTER A parent asked today if I planned to change any Zoom schedules or times with the new semester. I thought this was a great question that might be on the minds of others as well. I do not plan to change any times unless there is an unexpected need to, in which case I will be in contact with your family to work out another time. THINKING AND PLANNING AHEAD For Valentine's Day this year, my thought is that we will send a paper bag home for your child to decorate and a list of student names with his/her Jan. 25th pickup. Decorating the valentine bag will not be a part of the daily lesson activities and participation in exchanging valentine cards will be completely optional. If you would like for your child to participate, I will ask that you have your child decorate the bag sent home and return the bag to school with his/her valentine cards included in the bag when you come to get their Feb. 8th packet pickup. The plan will then be that Mrs. Schmidt and I will take the sent in valentines and distribute them appropriately to each child's bag. Then, we will deliver your child's valentine bag back to your home during the week (most likely Wednesday or Thursday). We will NOT have a large group that week as we do not have school on that Friday, but I will be later letting you know of a way your children can interact virtually with each other in response to receiving their valentines. In case I have made this as clear as mud... Jan. 25th - Child will receive student name list and blank valentine bag in packet pickup Feb. 8th - Return decorated bag with valentines filled out and ready to distribute inside of bag Feb. 9th-Feb 11th - Teachers will distribute valentine cards as appropriate and deliver to student homes Again, this will be optional if your family would like to participate. HAPPY WINTER BREAK I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful winter break! I look forward to seeing everyone back and healthy in 2021!
