WINTER BREAK CHALLENGE

We are so excited to introduce to you and your child/ren our Winter Break Challenge. This challenge is a fun way to keep our children reading, writing, researching, building, and thinking, during the break. Your child received a calendar today in their Family Folder. The "rules" for the challenge are:

1. Complete the activity for the day - you can even go out of order if you need to. Do all 10 activities during the break.

2. Write at least a few (2-3) sentences about what you did each day. There are lines on the back of the calendar and you can use notebook paper as well.

3. Bring your calendar back to school on Monday 1/7 and earn a special treat!

Extra Challenge - After the calendars were printed a typo was noticed (it is not on the attached calendar). I've challenged the children to find that typo on the print calendar too!

The calendar and "journaling" page are below.

Lost & Found

If your child has misplaced anything, please have them check Lost & Found. Our Lost & Found is located in the cafeteria - right where students enter each day.  All remaining articles will be removed and donated to a local charity after December 21.

**Please help us return items to the correct owner by labeling outerwear with your child's name.**
