December is going to be very busy for us! There is so much to do, and such little time!!
First of all, I would like to take this time to thank all of you for all of your support during field day and the Thanksgiving feast. We have had such a great time together building so many memories!
Our Thanksgiving feast was bitter sweet...we were all thankful to be a part of a great class, but saddened that Mrs. Farrington was leaving us. She has worked very hard with all of the students and has told me on several occasions how much she will miss them. As you are all aware, I will be taking over the Language Arts and writing block. Mrs. Fernandez will be coming in to assist with the writing as she has many more years of experience with making sure that the students are writing what the judges are looking for.
Our Honor Roll ceremony will be tomorrow, December 5th and we will start promptly at 8:45am. The students have all worked diligently and deserve their awards! We hope that you can all be here to celebrate with us!
Reading Under the Stars is BACK! Mark your calendar! December 10th & 11th from 6pm-8pm. We are soooooo excited!!!!! We will have so much entertainment for our students!! For the older students, we will have a DJ, arts and crafts, food trucks, stories, but best of all, this year we will have a DUNK TANK with TEACHERS inside waiting for someone to dunk them! How crazy will that be???? I even heard rumors that one of the administrators will be inside the tank!
Our classroom holiday celebration will be on December 19th the last hour of the day. I will be sending more information on what activities we will be doing, so stay tuned!
If I don't get a chance to see you from now until the 20th, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to you and your family for a fun, safe, and amazing Holiday break!!! Remember that we will be back to school on January 6, 2014.
XOXOXOXO,
Mrs. Ricardo
