Hi Everyone,
December is here and Christmas is in the air! I hope you are all well and are having the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*Our school is currently collecting money and $25 gift cards for the Hamper Society. Please send these in before December 14th if you would like to participate. Normally my class takes the leadership for this fundraiser and we gather hundreds of dollars and numerous toys for this worthy cause but, sadly, Covid has prevented the usual format from happening this year.
*Dr. Saul is working hard to prepare all of the classes for the virtual Christmas concert. He is planning on recording the students' voices on Monday, December 7th and will film them on Thursday, December 10th. This is the date students should wear their outfits to school. (Please send extra clothes and write a note in your child's planner if you need them to change as we will still be going outside) Our song, 'Dominick the Donkey' is a very old and takes place in Italy. We thought it would be interesting to be present the song in black and white. So, with that in mind, your child is encouraged to wear dark pants/skirt and a white/light top (dressy if possible). Dr. Saul has asked us to emphasize to parents that STUDENTS SHOULD NOT WEAR GREEN. This is because he is filming in front of a green screen :) Please do not feel the need to purchase any new clothing items. I also have 7 Dominick hats that some students would like to wear. I collected the names of interested students and put them into a draw. The students who were selected are: Leland Sam Carys Olivia Zoe Capri and Aiden
If your child is not wearing a Dominick hat, they are welcome to wear a Santa hat, fedora or some other festive headwear that you may have. Again, please do not feel the need to go shopping.
*Our Fairview leadership group thought it would be fun to have a Spirit Week for the last week before Christmas break (December 14-18th). Here is the schedule that they have created.
Monday 14th- Crazy Hair Day
Tuesday 15th: sports day
Wednesday 16th- Hat Day
Thursday 17th- Christmas sweater/ Christmas outfit
Friday 18th- Pj Day
*The published report card was sent today. You will find it in your child's planner bag. This report (and the draft if you want both) can stay at home now. There is no need for a parent signature this year due to Covid.
*We will be having our class Christmas celebration on Friday, December 18th. I will include a reminder list of who is bringing party treats on next week's blog.
*A big thank you to Noah's family for donating some Christmas books to the class, along with some bouncy balls and a game. We have really been enjoying them.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Amanda Roberts
