We have been working on a Reader’s Theater to perform for the rest of the third grade.  If you would like to attend, we will have a “parent dress rehearsal”.  The Red (students in the morning class with Mrs. Rollins) will do theirs on Tuesday, December 17 at 9:30 a.m., and the Yellow (students in the afternoon class with Mrs. Rollins) will be on December 17 at 12:00.  The sing a long preview will be at 2:00.  We will perform for the third grade on Tuesday after recess so please don’t check your students out after the Sing A Long preview.

This holiday season, I am thankful for all my students and their wonderful parents.  Thank you for working with and helping them at home.  I have loved getting to know your children and I appreciate you sharing them with me.  They are amazing and I love them all!

Also, thank you to my “secret elf” (whoever you are).  You are making my days much brighter!
