12/3/09 Just a quick note to anyone signed up for conferences... Please remember to bring a jacket and dress warm! I have to do my conferences outside due to the lack of space indoors, and the weather report says it will be cold out there tomorrow! You will find me just east of the basketball court on the driveway or under the trees.
If you did not get a conference spot and would like one, please email me to let me know. I will try to free up a time slot or we will schedule one on another day. Also, if you have to cancel or change you slot, please notify me by email and let me know to prepare for the change. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

December Newsflash
Happy Holidays! Winter Break is right around the corner, so the next three weeks are packed! Following is a list of events to look out for this month:
- Friday (12/4) and Monday (12/7) are conferences and half days. Please remember to sign up for a conference on the class website. Students must be picked up by 11:30 unless they are currently signed up for the Circle Program.
- We will have our annual Latke party on December 11th at 1:00 PM. This is a fun day that requires some patient volunteers who like to cook and some food donations. Please sign up on the website.
- The annual Gingerbread House Party is December 18th! This is also a fun day that requires a bunch of patient volunteers and a few patient meringue makers! The sign up for this is on the website also!
- Henry Westphal’s family has taken care of Snowball, our rabbit, for the past few breaks. Thank you very much to them! It is now time for someone else to take a turn. If you can care for Snowball over the Winter Break (or a portion of it), please email me to let me know. She doesn’t require that much care and rarely comes out of her cage when she visits another home.
- We will have a class intern from the Middle School with us December 7th-11th and December 14th-18th. This is always a great experience for all of the students!
- Please remember to send a snack for your child daily (even Fridays!). We are experiencing a lot of hungry children again!
- Winter Break is December 21st through January 4th. Have a nice break!
- We will have our spelling tests on Thursday for the last week of school before the break, so we can just have the Gingerbread House Party on that Friday!
- Please remember to have your child read aloud to you over the Winter Break to keep up with fluency!
