Week of 12/17/12

The Christmas show is on Wednesday at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The children should dress-UP on that day. Remember that the
children have to stay with me in the classroom throughout the
entire show. The children will see the show during the dress
rehearsal earlier in the week. Please bring the children back
for the show around 6:40 p.m. Please keep practicing the
songs at home.

Our classroom Christmas party is on Thursday.
You are welcome to send cupcakes or party food

with the children on that day. Let me know in advance,
so that we don’t have too many of the same things.
There are 22 children in the classroom.
