Week of December 1st
Happy December!
We are already in the second week of December, and A8 has been busy decorating the hallway with our work! We’ve been reading different Gingerbread stories and having so much fun making connections and noticing how each ending changes from book to book.
As the weather gets colder, please remember to send your child with a jacket or sweatshirt so they stay warm during our 20-minute recess.
We also have a daily snack time that lasts about 10 minutes. Please make sure your child brings a drink and a separate snack from their lunch.
