Coming Soon! Polar Express!
Dear Parents,
On Tuesday, December 22nd, my class will be reading The Polar Express. To help celebrate this exciting story, I can wear my pajamas to school just like the children in the book! (Students must wear clothing under their pajamas and regular shoes). The entire class will board the pretend train in our pajamas with our most special belongings. Please allow me to bring a special belonging that I usually take to bed with me to share with the class.

Today we had a lesson on Kwanzaa and learned all about this special holiday. We also sampled a Kwanzaa treat, colored in a picture of the Kinara, and watched a bookflix "Seven Candles for Kwanzaa". Thank you Mr. S. for a great lesson!
