The Holiday season is upon us! November and December will be full of many exciting and educational experiences!
On December 10th our class will be going to Russell Sage College to see "King Island Christmas". If you have not already done so, please return your child's permission slip with $7.00 (cash please) to cover the cost of the trip. Thank you!
This month we will be collecting Toys for needy families of Southern Rensselaer County. As we have done in the past we will be donating the toys to CONCERNS –U, a local non-profit organization. In the past this has been a very successful and positive learning experience for our children. We do this in place of a classroom grab bag. If you wish to participate, please send a new, unwrapped toy to school by December 14th. We ask that the toy be appropriate for a boy or a girl. (Approximate value $10:00.) A representative from CONCERNS- U will be at Final Touch to collect the donations. Thank you in advance for you cooperation.
It was great meeting with you at our Nov. 20th conferences. I am looking forward to our remaining conferences on the afternoon and evening of Dec. 8th. Our final schedule is attached below! It's not too late to participate in the Pizza Hut Book-It Program. It's a wonderful reading incentive sponsored by pizza Hut. Our goal will be to read 20 minutes a day at least 5 times a week. Each time your child spends 20 minutes reading at home, they will color in the space on their "Book-It" calendar. Return the calendar at the end of each month and I will send home a coupon for a free personal pan pizza for your child!
Please note the new links below! You can visit the "Pizza Hut Book It" web site as well as the "Scholastic Book Club" online ordering page!
Our nest box camera will be back next spring!
