POLAR EXPRESS DAY/holiday party

DECEMBER 17 is a big day for our class
In the morning, have your child come to school in pj's and a robe, or sweats,if they prefer. Let them bring one favorite stuffed animal,pillow,blanket or sleeping bag. We'll watch the Polar Express movie, be cozy and drink hot cocoa in the morning. They can wear pajamas all day, as long as they have shoes for recess....or they can bring a change of clothes for the afternoon. At 1:30 we'll have our holiday party. The kids will decorate little gingerbread houses. Parents are welcome. All of first grade celebrates this day together and it's always a fun day for everyone.

I'm posting some pictures of the final day for the art planner. The kids helped each other with the huge task of passing out so much work, and then trying to get each piece into the travel porfolio without harming it. What a day! Each child reflected on what they had learned and what they hope to do differently next time. I photographed them for their white porfolio.Please take some time to go over their work and ask them questions. The poster board porfolio is due back, empty. We will use it all year.
