Due to allergies, we are asking each family to send a SMALL, labeled bag of assorted candies, cereal, raisins etc for your own child to use. Kindergarten will provide the plates, graham crackers and special icing. I have a few decorations to share such as mini marshmallows (snow), mini candy canes and Smarties.

Today, I introduced Kindergarten to Mathletics. On Thursday, our room 4 buddies will assist us with logging on to Mathletics and creating their avatar. We need some tme to practice using Mathletics at school and then your passwords for Mathletics will be sent home.
The date for our Kindergarten class party has been rescheduled for Thursday, December 17. We are in the process of planning a fun F.A.F school event for Friday, December 18.

Messages from Mrs. Rennie:

Yesterday the office provided you with your students photos.  Many of these photos were the actual photos that parents ordered for their children while several of the photos were a result of the recent retakes.  Can you please have students tell their parents that the deadline to return their orders for photos based on their retakes is this Friday, December 4.  They can also order photos and pay online at Lifetouch’s website that is noted on the order form.

Green forms regarding the Festive Evening are due next Monday.
