Writer's Workshop Celebration and The Christmas Present REVEAL!!!

Today we celebrated our writing with our Book Buddies.  Our class shared a narrative book that we wrote (a true story that happened to us), and they shared an information piece (that will be our next unit in January).  I am soooo proud of us...

After we shared our books with our buddies and some other friends, we continued to celebrate the occasion with some toasts...

After giving toasts, friends picked other friends to make toasts..

Scoop from Dr. Stryjewski...

*  Our Halloween Parade starts at 1:40Please plan time to park at the Farmer's Club and walk to school before 1:40 so you don't miss it.

*  .  Parties start at 2:00.  If you take your child home from the party, please be sure to sign them out in the classroom.

*  Students should bring their costumes in a bag labeled with their name.  Only AM kindergartners should wear their costume to school.  Everyone else should not wear it.  They will change later in the day.

*  There will be a party supply drop off lane if you need to park, drop off supplies, and then move your car to the Farmer's Club.  Look for that lane in the parent drop-off/pick-up lane
