HOLIDAY CONCERT:

On Thursday, December 14th, 2017, (at 7:00 PM) Good Shepherd School will be putting on our holiday show.  My Kindergarten class is paired with Ms. Alexis' grade 6 class and we will be doing a choreographed dance. We are asking all of children to arrive at 6:45 PM and come directly to MY CLASSROOM.  If you would like to attend the show, you must pre-order tickets (maximum of 2 per family) by completing the order form you will receive by email this week. The tickets do sell out quickly as there is only 1 show in the evening.  There is a day show for grandparents (ONLY).

THEME TABLE:

Our new theme until the holiday break will be gingerbread man and Christmas. I invite the children to bring in books, toys or objects related to our theme that we can place on our theme table in the class. Please be sure to write your child' s name on the item or book so that I can easily return it to you. Thank you in advance!

SCHOLASTICS:

Please note that the deadline to submit your order is Wednesday, December 6th, 2017. If your order if a surprise, I can send it home in a sealed envelope.

REMINDERS:

The blue duo-tang will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday. You will keep the purple duo-tang at home. Throughout the week, please review the sound of the week and have your child complete the corresponding pages in the purple duo-tang.  Please have your child practice singing the weekly songs/poems and complete the activity at the bottom of the page (if there is one) in the blue duo-tang. Please refer to the introduction letter for a more detailed explanation of this on the 2nd page of both duo-tangs.
