Dear Families,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break!  We've just finished our Friends Unit, and for the three weeks before winter break we will be talking about Fairy Tales.  On the Thursday before winter break (December 20th) we will also be having a holiday show.  Notices will go home this coming week.  It will be an opportunity for family members, grandparents, or siblings to come and watch us perform a few songs and do a craft together.  Our show songs will be 10 Little Fingers, Peanut Butter and Jelly, and The Wheels on the Bus.  These are also the songs we will be singing during music time for the next three weeks.

Here's what we will be reading this week
