Winter Notes

Also when we return to school we will practice locating continents, oceans, and Los Angeles on a world map. Everyone will take home a map on which to practice for the test as mentioned at Back-to-School Night.



FYI: A book was read about Santa Mouse (a treasury from childhood) to the children. A child asked (as is always the case) after the second story was finished, 'Are you sure that's true?' Hmm....So the legend goes, that if you should happen to find a small (tiny) gift tucked somewhere in your tree, perhaps tied with a yellow bow, then you will know that Santa Mouse has been to your house. *Shrugs* I don't know, it's just what I've heard. Who knows how these stories get started? But maybe all first graders should check the branches of their trees on Christmas morning just to make sure.

Check back next week for login information for your child's account at RazKids reading app.
