Happy Holidays to one and All!!

I will be putting overdue notices in your mailboxes this week.  Please pass them out to your students.  Maybe the families can look for lost books over break?  If you would rather wait and hand them out with report cards, that would be fine too.  If any of the students have moved or there is some issue with their family, please let me know.  Thanks!

This week in the Media Center I will be reading either Who's Knocking on Christmas Eve? or Christmas Trolls.  Both books are by Jan Brett and have an activity to go with them.

I'm hoping that you are all done with the DRA kits!  Please return them to the Media Center when you are done.  We were loaned 3 kits from Dean, so I would like to return them before break.  Thank you!

Joke of the week:
A definition of Christmas:The time when everyone gets "Santa"-mental.
AND:
A Christmas thought:
STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backward.

This week in the Media Center

Tech news:  There will me no Media Monday, tomorrow, Dec. 12 due to Jessie's shower.  If people would still like to meet this month, please let me know!  Thanks!

For the K classes this week, I will be doing the retelling.  For the Dual Lanugage classes, please let me know how you would like to handle it.  In the past, I have seen the English speaking children, and the Spanish speaking teacher has done the Spanish speaking children.

For the PreK classes, I will be reading a holiday story.  For the Monday Bilingual classes I will be reading "Gingerbread Friends"  by Jan Brett.

Joke of the day: 
A class of schoolchildren from the city went on a trip to the country. One of them found a pile of empty milk bottles and shouted,
`Look, teacher, I've found a cow's nest!'
