Thank you to everyone who made it in for interviews last week. It's always nice to get more insight into your children! If you didn't yet have a chance to see us, please let us know. Winter Concert: We will be having our winter concert on Wednesday December 13th from 12-1pm. Please meet us in the gym and enjoy the songs we've been practicing! After the concert, we will have a picnic. Due to the many allergies in our class, we ask that everyone bring in their own lunch and picnic blanket if you have one (we have some). A few safe snacks will be provided for everyone. Merci! Holiday Gifts: Mme Miller and I wanted to let you know that if you were considering buying gifts for us we would like you to consider purchasing something for the class instead! We still spend our own money on many items in the classroom so we will gladly accept donations to the class such as games, puzzles, toys, books or gift cards! Of course, there is no obligation. I just wanted to put that out there. Teddy Bear Project: In the new year will will be starting our take-home teddy bear (and journal) project. As some of you may remember from last year the teddy bear stays with your for a few days and you chronicle your events together in the journal. This year, I thought it would be neat to make our own teddy bear. If everyone could send in a scrap of fabric or an old piece of clothing I was planning on piecing together a teddy bear over the holidays. (FYI this could totally bomb, I make no promises!) The only criteria is that is has to be cotton. Not linen or jersey (t-shirt material) or anything else that is hard to sew with. But hopefully, by January, I'll have something that looks like this: Twelve Days of Giving:
