The Toucan Squawk, Dec. 9 - 13

Hello families...I hope everyone is enjoying their week!  We have been spending time working through the elf journal Rex the classroom elf left for the kiddos to complete.  Tomorrow the class will create a "comic strip" describing how to make a snowman.  This goes with a sort and glue activity they did today.  Both activities will be finished tomorrow. 

The class has also been continuing to work through identifying key information and questions in word problems.  We will continue to work through this unit in small groups and centers throughout the school year, and it will also appear in the students' homework.   

Please continue to send in the items for the holiday party.  We will be celebrating the holiday season on Thursday the 19th with decorating cupcakes, making a snowman craft, and completing activities.  We will also watch a movie and eat the cupcakes in the afternoon.  It's sure to be a fun day for everyone participating!

On Friday the 20th, we will have our holiday program in the morning, and then afterwards...it's hot coco time!  The students are invited to wear their pjs to school, but please send them with their jackets as well.  We won't have the time for anyone to change prior to leaving for the holiday program, so students are invited to wear their pjs directly to school.  Please also remind them to wear sneakers- since all of the teachers perform for each grade level, they will go out for recess while we are performing for the other grade levels.  Yes, we perform for the kiddos...oh dear!  This is a 1/2 day, so we won't have time for much afterwards besides hot coco and a movie.
