15 Days

Dear Parents,
Some of you are receiving this e-mail for the first time. Mrs. Norton and I send out a weekly e-mail to let you know what's going on in class. I wanted to make you aware of a couple websites that will benefit you. Our class blog has the previous e-mails that we have sent out listed as enteries at www.goethe-norton.blogspot.com. Please make comments if you find it helpful or if you need more information. Our school website www.duvalschools.org/tlae. is also very helpful with current school calendars and important dates. Try to check it weekly.
I also wanted to make you aware of important December dates.
12/4 Holiday photos
12/5 Lost and Found donated to charity
12/10 Early Release
12/11 Winter Musical
12/18,12/19 Holiday Parties
Holiday Vacation 12/20-1/4
Our Holiday Party will include a morning of craft stations and then lunch will be served followed by a movie in the afternoon. We will need parent volunteers to man/woman the stations. We have purchased several crafts, but we are willing to have you share any that you think the children would enjoy. Please send in the following for our Holiday Party needs:

$5.00 donation for party supplies/lunch
8" x 10" Frame (they will be making a gift for someone special)
Treats for 22 stockings (the stockings will be hung by the chimney with care)
We also will be enjoying a Polar Express/Pajama Party on the opposite day of the class party. The children may wear their P.J.'s, slippers and robes and bring a board game to play with their classmates. We will enjoy hot cocoa and sweet delights, as well as have a guest reader. The party dates are December 18th and 19th. I'll let you know in my next e-mail of our exact date for each party.

Please let us know if you will be able to volunteer on the morning of the craft stations. We'll need approx. 5 volunteers for each class.

Take a moment and read Mayuri's Reflections Entry on our blogspot. She's quite a writer. We will be posting more student work on the blogspot in the future. Look for updates.
