Kim's Classroom Update

Dear Families,
We are just a week away from Christmas Break! By this time of year, I hope all of your children feel like their classroom (my classroom) is a safe place where they can share their feelings, hopes, and dreams. It's amazing to me how fast the time has gone by!
We are still planning to perform our play on Wednesday, December 17th at 8:30am. It still may be a bit rough around the edges, but I've already heard some moans and groans when they've been asked to start over, and over, and over! You are welcome to join us in the MPR room.
We are postponing the Wax Museum until we get back from Christmas break as I want their writing to be excellent. That will mean a few more drafts and going back for more research. I expect moans and groans! I have been talking to your children about excellence and not settling - it is the classroom culture that I want to instill! I have already seen an improvement in their writing and understanding of what makes a good paragraph.
I hope you all have the opportunity to go to Rubio's for our fundraiser tonight. I unfortunately will not be there as I am actually working on a project outside of school to clear my credential for life!
You have delightful children and I love having them in my classroom.
Sincerely,
Kim
