What a great day to build a snowman!
I am sure that we were all excited to see the white stuff falling this morning. I know that the kids were definitely excited at recess today. Please make sure that you send your child to school dressed appropriately to be outside. Recess can be awfully miserable when you can't play in the snow without boots.
Our Classroom Food Drive-
This week our class is collecting food to help a needy family have a terrific Thanksgiving. Please continue to send in canned goods, boxed food, cake mixes, gift cards, etc. If we all work together, we can present a generous gift to a family in need. If you need specific ideas, you can email me here at school. Thanks in advance ...
