A very good article about helping your children learn to read from The New York Times. Don't forget to scroll past the advertisements to get to the next section.

Did you hear that Santa knows karate? He has a black belt.
Who is Santa’s favorite singer? Elf-is Presley.
Why was Santa’s little helper feeling depressed? Because he had low elf esteem.
Why did Santa bring 22 reindeer to Walmart? Because what he wanted to buy cost around 20 bucks, but just in case it was more, he brought some extra doe.

The children will stay in our classroom during the evening performance until you come to pick them up.

A pair of new, dark grey snow pants went missing from our classroom. Please return them if you find them at home.
December sight words are: but, friend, give, good, in, look, up, see, want. If a word comes up repeatedly in our studies we will sometimes add it to our words for the month. Please feel free to practice them at home.
