From the

Teacher's Desk

     Show and Tell this week will be Thursday. Bring something beginning with letter H. A homework paper will come home Thursday and will be due on Friday.

     Breakfast with Santa will be on Thursday morning--parents are welcome after 9:15 to visit and take photos.  

     We will have a few Christmas festivities in our class room early Friday afternoon. We will still have LRC at the end of the day so it will just be a few treats and a game or two. I appreciate your offers to help with our party but it is Pfeiffer School's policy that the teachers handle their own Christmas party. (Parents take care of the Halloween and Valentine Parties.)

     I'm sending home a new snack calendar this week that will begin when we return to school on January 7. Most of our snacks are gone--we just finished up the snacks you sent in during October so please try to send in the snack on the day your child is scheduled when we return from Christmas break. Thanks!

     Thanks to Josie's Mom, Stevie's Mom, Isabel's Mom, Camryn's Mom and Aunt, Moira's Dad and Dougie's Mo for helping with Christmas crafts last week. We couldn't have done it without you!

      Have a wonderful holiday season with your children!
