A huge thank you goes out to our room parents and all the other parents who helped with our party today! It was a great party, and the children had a blast!
Also, thank you for all the wonderful gifts you showered me with this week! I am truly overwhelmed! It is such a blessing to work with such amazing children. Having parental support in addition to that is just icing on the cake!
Many thank you notes went home today, but many did not make it into the Friday Folders. Please know I appreciate each and every gift. Please look for additional thank you notes in the January Friday Folders.
I hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas and enjoy this special time with your families!

Homework:
Finish your rough draft of your Gingerbread Man persuasive paper. If you were absent, you must choose whose persepctive from which you are writing (the gingerbread man, the baker, yourself, a narrator), then decide your point of view (should the gingerbread man be eaten, or should he live?), then give four or five details (reasons) supporting your point of view. Tomorrow we will revise the rough drafts and work on final copies. THIS IS NOT A NARRATIVE, BE CAREFUL!
Some students have asked about typing their paper. You may type if you want to, but bring in your rough draft on a jump drive so that you may revise it here at school.
