 Upcoming Dates and Reminders: 

Merry Christmas!!!! I hope you all have a relaxing Christmas break! We are so thankful for all of you and the partnership with your families! Thank you for all the generous Christmas gifts! You are all such a gift! 

PJ DAY! Pj day tomorrow for our movie and party!! 

Book Exchange: If you have not sent a book for our book exchange tomorrow please make sure to send it tomorrow! 

Parent Teacher Conferences: 

Due to baby coming early March I will be doing all parent teacher conferences for second semester in January. If you feel like you want to wait until March/ April I can always offer a phone call or an in person conference later in the spring. If I feel there is a need I will reach out as well! January is a great time to have a conference as it will be right after running records and MAP testing! Here is the link to sign up!

Reading A-Z 

Our Sumer reading program is on the IPADS. I have this set up if you would like to dive in over Christmas break that would be awesome! We have running records right after break so the more reading the stronger reader your child will be.

step 1: Download app 

step 2: teacher username mdewitt32 

step 3: click on your Childs name 

step 4: enter your Childs hook number as their password. It needs to be 2 numbers so if they are #6 it is 06 etc. 

Step 5: click on reading room and start reading! 

I like to reward the top 2 kids who do the most reading over break with a trip to ice cream and barnes and noble to pick a book. I can see the minutes each child reads on my end! This may be some incentive for them to read:) 

Snow Gear: With winter months here we will be sending snow suits home on Fridays! If the snowsuit is sent home throughout the week it means our day got busy or it was too cold to stand in pick up line without them! Please just send them back the next day if they are sent home mid week! Thank you!! 

Wacky Week: 

Forest Kids, get ready for some wackiness coming after Christmas Break! Wacky Wednesdays are back, starting January 17! The class with the highest percentage of participation each week will earn a class party.
