A Few Changes for the New Year . . .

As of January 4, 2010, a few changes will take place in our classroom:

• We WILL continue to have "Brain Fuel" at 10:30 each day, but parents and Mrs. Hill will NO LONGER be supplying the snacks. Students are encouraged to bring their own snack each day if they wish to enjoy some midday fuel.
• Reading and math contracts WILL still exist, but they may look different and have different expectations. Look for more information on that in the new year!
• Our new class motto, "Zip it or Flip it!" will be in full force. Parents, ask your child about this for an explanation!
• All student names MUST be written in cursive at ALL times!

Winter Party Time!

A note from our room parents:

It's winter party time and we are in need of donations. We are planning
to have Walking Tacos and other items that the room parents will need
to purchase.

We are also hoping to give every student a gift card instead of all
the little STUFF that usually gets tossed.

If you are willing to donate any sum of $$$ and/or help us out the day
of the Party (Tuesday, Dec.22 @2:45), please contact Angela Falcone @ angela.falcone5@gmail.com.

If you would like to send a monetary donation, please send it in with
your child in a sealed envelope marked Angela Falcone/Winter Party.

We will accept donations starting this week.

Any questions, feel free to e-mail Angela Falcone at the above email.

Poetry Cafe Rescheduled

We are rescheduling our Poetry Cafe for this Friday, December 4 from 2:30-3:00 in our classroom. We will enjoy drinks and a healthy snack while we enjoy listening to our newly published poets read a poem of their choice from their own collection!
