Dear Parents,
I enjoyed meeting with all of you at Parent/Teacher Conferences. Thanks to all parents for supporting your child's educational experience at Lincoln Elementary by attending the conferences. As usual, we had 100% attendance.
The United Nations celebration supported our geography studies and reminds us all that it is a ‘small world after all’. In the month of November we will focus on the continent of North America . This will include work with the flags of North America , the story of the first Thanksgiving, placemat weaving, dishwashing and table setting works. We will also be discussing serving and table manners just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday!
NOTES & REMINDER:
No School Reminders
There is no school for all primary Montessori classes next Wednesday, November 9(First Aid/CPR/Universal Precautions training for all primary teachers), and for the entire school Thursday, November 10(Assessment Day) and Friday, November 11, (Veteran’s Day). Wednesday through Sunday, November 23-27 is no school for Thanksgiving break.
Small Hands Orders
Small Hands orders are arriving. Information on when and where to pick your orders up will be available soon.
Change of Clothes Reminder
Just a reminder! Please don't forget to send warmer clothes for your child's change of clothes here at school. (Please label everything!) ALL children need an appropriate change of clothes available to them at school. Thanks for your help with this.
Boots
Now that the snow has started to fly, your child will need to wear boots to school. Please send a pair of shoes or slippers for them to wear in the classroom. (Kindergarten and Full Day four year olds need to have a pair of shoes rather than slippers as they go to P.E. in the afternoon and slippers are not safe in the gym unless they have rubber soles.) Boots are too hot to wear inside and it will help keep the classroom floors clean. You may choose to have your child either keep the shoes/slippers at school or transport them back and forth in their bag. Please label all outer wear. Thanks for your help with this.
Scholastic Book Orders
November book order forms are coming home in your Thursday folder. Orders are due on Tuesday, November 7. You may order on line until Friday, November 11. Our classroom code is GNGBW.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and know that we are grateful to have the opportunity to work with you and your children.
Peace,
Ms. Therese, Ms. Addie, Ms. Bonnie and Ms. Paula
