"I Can Imagine" & "Winter"
This week we will enjoy academic lessons focused on a "winter" theme as well as the concept of using our imagination. Students will explore the use of their imagination when it comes to solving problems and overcoming fears.
Speaking of "winter", be sure to check out the information that was sent home regarding our Dad's Club "Snow Hill" event, scheduled for January 22nd.
Be sure to engage in conversation with your student this week about what they are currently learning at school. You'll be amazed at how much they know and how much they want to share with you!
Looking forward to...

Our classrooms are extra blessed when items on our wish lists appear. We have had some parents ask if we had an Amazon Wish List for our classrooms. We have linked our wish lists below for your consideration.
Thank you for taking the time to look through our Amazon Wish List. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
