Love is what it's all about!

My Christmas gift to you and your families is no homework this week!  Enjoy the quiet evenings, read a few Christmas stories that are your favorites and maybe a few Christmas movies!  Play some board games!  Enjoy the lights and the snow!
I have been so very blessed to have you in my class this year!  You the students have worked hard and the parents' support has been overwhelming and very much appreciated.  I am very much looking forward to 2021! 
In our class, we have our cotton ball celebration to look forward to in January! 
I will update the class website this week with some new pictures from December!

Special Christmas Star Announcement!

 I don’t know if you are aware,for the first time in 800 years, two planets are aligning to make a Christmas star visible. We are super excited in our household! I think it’s supposed to be most visible 45 min after dusk...I believe you can see it through this website too!

My favorite character is Mya!  I'd like to invite her over for a playdate.  I would like us to meet up at a park and play on the playground.  My favorite park is Encke Park.  We would play on the playground and tell funny stories.  I would have us bring a snack of popcorn and chocolate milk to share together.  I would like it to be a sunny and warm day so that I can wear my favorite shorts and sneakers.  At the end of the playdate we would eat some Hershey's chocolate!
