Tuesday Festivities

Morning sing along in the open area.....

Playing instruments, singing and being a reindeer for the "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" song.

This guy spent his free time today writing numbers to 70 (!)

Today, we found out that we've been in school for 60 days.  We made a new bundle of 10 (so we now have 6 bundles of 10) and then we did the conga!  Cha cha cha cha cha CHA!

Right out into the hallway and then we got all of our snow gear on and went outside for recess.

This afternoon we painted our paper tubes which we will turn into something spectacular tomorrow.  We now have enough tubes, thanks for sending them in to the class.

We will not be doing sharing tomorrow (too much going on!)  

Here are a few reminders about our concert tomorrow.  We will be doing a dress rehearsal/matinee at 1:00.  This is a chance for the kids to watch each other and for audience members who were not able to get tickets for the evening performance.  Kids do not have to wear their "holiday best" for the daytime performance (but it might be nice to wear something a bit festive).  For the evening performance, please bring your child to the classroom between 6:30 and 6:45.  Please don't come earlier than 6:30 as I may not here then.  Students should wear "holiday best" for the evening performance. Kids will stay in our classroom until it's our turn to perform. Please come back to the classroom at the end of the concert.  I will only dismiss students when I see his/her parent(s).  If you have any questions, please come in and chat with me in the morning and I'll do my best to answer them.  If you know that your child will be unable to attend the evening performance, please let me know.  You might want to look for the song "Suzy Snowflake" on Youtube and encourage your child to practice the words a couple of times this evening.  

Oh, we are also (hopefully) going to have a firetruck visit tomorrow morning! I say "hopefully" because if there is an emergency, they have to save our visit for another time.  

I think that's all my news for today.  Thank you to everyone for sending in wrapping paper.  I ended up with more than enough and was even able to send some back home.  You really are the most supportive bunch. Thanks again!
