December 20, 2009
Dear Parents,
I can't say it enough times--the children were wonderful on Friday. We could
hear them and they were expressive and, of course, they looked adorable. The
singing was great too and we are so proud of each and everyone of them.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with us and share
this special story of Jesus' birth. Every narrator, actor, angel and
chicken, duck, cow, camel, donkey, pig, rat, and horse thanks you! :)
Now on to the production for Tuesday when the children will again perform for
our school community. Whatever your child wore to school on Friday--either
dress clothes or gym uniform--they should do so again on Tuesday.
Class trip to Kimmel Center is tomorrow to see Babes in Toyland. We watched
the video with the children. It will be interesting to see which one they
enjoy more, the play or the video. I'm sure they will let you know.
Wednesday is an early dismissal at 12:00. We are having a little birthday
party for Jesus and we will make our Nativity Scenes that morning also. It
will be a good way to end before the Christmas break. The children may bring
in Christmas cards to exchange that day if they wish.
Hope you each get to enjoy some days off during the school break.
Thank you for everything that you do.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
Fondly,
Mrs. DelQuadro
***Library on Monday, 12/14/09. Please help the children remember their book.

Dear Parents,
This week's homework is my little gift to you. I hope it helps a bit with
everyone's busy schedule.
The children had a great time at the Christmas Bazaar and were loving all the
treasures they bought for you. A highlight of the day was a visit from Santa
and Mrs. Claus in our classroom.
Report cards are being sent home on Tuesday, December 15th. I do not think
there will be any surprises for you, the parents. If you would like a
conference, please check the box near the signature space and I will get back
to you as soon as possible. Please sign and return the report card on
Wednesday or Thursday.
Now, on to our play. If your child is an animal in our play, please send in
the sweatsuit on Monday so that we can add ears, tails or whatever to it.
Whatever color you got is fine. We will make it work. They are just too
cute withOUT costumes so I'm very anxious to see them in costume.
Costumes that were sent home from school should be returned on Friday,
December 18th, on a hanger or in a bag ready to go. All narrators may wear
dress clothes on both days of the play, Friday and Tuesday, December 22nd.
Thank you for all you are doing.
Please continue to review lines for the play if your child is a bit shaky
still. The children need to speak loudly, clearly and with expression.
Whatever it is, we all need to remember that it is the children's
gift to Jesus for His birthday and that puts all things back into perspective.
We certainly hope you enjoy our little production.
My shopping is done and the wrapping is in progress. Hope the same for you.
Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you on Friday.
Mrs. DelQuadro.

tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving,
and tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because some day in life you will have been all of these.
