Announcements: This Wednesday, from 7:30-9:30 we will be decorating holiday houses! The children are really excited about this, and everyone is welcome to join us (even if your kiddo doesn't normally come to school that day). Feel free to come, and join us for breakfast! We will be talking about holiday traditions the next two weeks and if your family has any traditions you would like to share, I would love to hear about them, and let your child share with the class. Happy holidays!
