Holiday chaos:-)

I just came home from spending a wonderful evening decorating the gym for your holiday concert tomorrow. Between the twinkling lights, the ringing bells and your voices, tomorrow evening should be magical.

Take a deep breath and think about how close you are to the upcoming break. You have worked so hard for the past 3 months. You have learned a lot about time management, asking good questions, staying organized and how to finish a challenging project. You have a lot to be proud of.

We had a wonderful justice circle today. I invited Ms. Nikki, Mrs. Chang and Mr. Scott to sit in on our circle today. We had a great discussion about conflict resolution and and what it means to be an advocate for someone. It was a special time that we shared with each other and our special guests.

Today was so busy trying to prepare for the holiday concert. Remember to have your recorders at school tomorrow for our afternoon practice. Tomorrow morning we will be making and baking our gingerbread dough. If there are any parents who would like to come in and help our class with this, we would love to have you. Don't forget to bring in candy to decorate your houses by Friday!

I apologize for Wednesday folders not making it home today. They will be on the kids' desks tomorrow morning ready for you to take. With a late afternoon concert rehearsal, things were very chaotic and rushed at the end of the day. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Look for a posted list of our Empty Bowls auction winners in the lobby tomorrow. We raised $1433.00--enough to feed 1500 Indonesian children one meal. I am absolutely astounded and humbled by the generosity of the FPA and POM community.

Have a wonderful night. Rest your singing voices and get ready for another busy day tomorrow.
