- This week is the Holiday Shoppe. This is a shop run by the PTA that has low-priced items for students at WBE to buy for their holiday presents to others. We will have a time to attend and purchase items as a class. If students would like to go another day, they will be allowed to go during recess any day.
- We will be visiting the Science Lab on Tuesday from 12:45-1:25. If you would like to come assist, let me know! Any extra hands/help are encouraged.
- Wednesday is an Early Release at 12:45.
- Thursday is Schlotzsky's Night at the LaFrontera location. Proceeds from any purchases made between 10am and 10pm will be donated to WBE. Teachers will be on hand to eat dinner and socialize from 5-7pm. This is a great chance to help out WEB and eat some dinner at the same time. (I'm not sure if I'm going to be there yet.)
- I have sent home forms about class shirts. They are $7 and you can either send cash or check (made out to me). We will wear these shirts on our field trip next week, when attending school events, and to show our class pride (which is usually the kids' favorite reason). Thank you to those who have already paid. If you are unable to pay for any reason, please contact me.
- We are going on a field trip on Wednesday, December 14th. Please be sure you return your child's permission slip if you have not already. Your child will have the opportunity to either bring their own sack lunch or order one from the cafeteria. Each child will be responsible for carrying their own lunch. There will not be a place to keep them cold. I recommend not sending a real lunch kit either, so that we don't have to worry about losing it.
- We will be having a cookie decorating party next Friday the 16th for our Winter Party. We will be needing donations in order to make it possible and of course, you are all invited to attend. It will be on Friday afternoon beginning at 1:45. I will need a few parents to help set up beforehand, let me know if you are interested.
