You are probably looking at this post and wondering if you have the right month and the right place. Sunglasses in December? In SEATTLE? Let me explain. In early November we finished our Science unit on fabric and each of the children sewed a pocket. They were none too pleased that we wouldn’t allow them to take their sewing project home on that day but we had a surprise planned for using those pockets. We bought these exotic animal frame sunglasses and tucked one into each ‘pocket’ along with a packet of hot cocoa and a candy cane. They were SO delighted! They raced from one desk to another to see who was wearing frames just like their own. As you can see they loved posing for the camera! Principal Seevers’ visit only added to the excitement as they posed for his camera too. Not to worry, all these lions, tigers, and bears minded their manners, said “Thank you!” and “Merry Christmas” as they headed out the classroom door to begin the L-O-N-G winter holiday break.
Be sure to look in your child’s backpack for their homework. Spread it out over the two weeks to keep their learning curve going up, up, up! Pay special attention to practicing the handwriting of their name, learning the sight words, and of course READ EVERYDAY! I highly recommend a family trip or two to a public library.
Peace and happiness in the New Year to everyone this holiday season.
