~*!Stay Warm!*~

Hello!
Hopefully you are all staying warm and have found the mittens/ scarves/ hats from last year! 
Your student has brought something VERY important home today: Their report cards!  The students have worked very hard and truly have a lot to be proud of this reporting period.  I’ve asked students to not open them until the get home, and to make sure they share them with their parents.  I’ve also asked that they take the time to discuss with you, and to KNOW: What am I doing really well?  What should I continue to do?  What do I need to improve on? 
Sometimes it also helps to write down any questions that you have along the way that you can bring to Parent / Teacher interviews.
...speaking of parent teacher interviews.....
In past interviews, I have found that no matter how hard we try, we seem to sometimes get behind in scheduling.  With the interviews being booked in 20 minute blocks, and with Thursdays interviewing schedule being so busy I would like to open up next week’s afterschool hours to anyone who would like to come in and interview then.
If you are happy with your interview time on either the 25th or 26th, by all means keep it!
If you would rather come on either the 22nd, 23rd, or 24th after school, we can very easily schedule you in.  I just want this to be an easy process for you.  If you feel like this is the better option, please email me and we can set up a date and time.

THANK YOU to those people who have brought in shoe boxes!  Remember, each student needs one regular sized shoe box for a Christmas craft that we will be starting VERY SHORTLY!!  If you have more than one shoe box at home, PLEASE bring it in for another student as I know these can be hard to come by!!
A HUGE thank you to those parents who have donated the different craft supplies! We will continue to collect these for the next few weeks, and I promise that you’ll get something creative and beautiful in return J
The supplies we are collecting are:
-sequins
-buttons
-scrap pieces of fabric
-green yarn
-OLD CHRISTMAS CARDS! (we only need the front side)
Hmmm...I think that’s all for now!  Its fireplace and hot chocolate time J  Enjoy your weekends!!
