Ready for Christmas Break? Well...

It's CRAZY how quickly a HALF of the YEAR can just disappear!?  I really did mean that hug as you left to be a genuine, heart-felt "thank you."  You are all really showing such an amazing amount of effort and "growing up" before my eyes.... sniff, sniff...tear, tear..  Thanks for being such a great 5B Family (We are family...).

This week has actually been QUITE a super week of working seriously, completing projects and quite mature attitudes!  So proud of all of you!

Don't forget shoes for P.E. tomorrow also!


Tomorrow's FUN is PLANNED...

Our little preschool buddies are looking forward to seeing you again!  Mrs. Marr said they kept asking this week which day they could see their "big friends."  Too cute!  We'll head over to the Preschool Building after band kids come back.  We'll be there for most of the morning.  Tim asked if you could bring your buddy a special snack, but I preferred not.  However, if you had something for him/her as a small "gift," that is fine.  However, do NOT go out tonight or in the morning to buy something.  I was just letting you know you could bring a gift if you had planned on it, ok?  Remember, if you have any Christmas books at home, please bring them for sharing with your "lil buddy."  They really loved the expression you used and the fun ways you read with them last time!  What amazing role models!

FRIDAY FUN, TOO!

We get to sing a Christmas carol (most likely the 12 Days of Christmas from Iowa) to our New York 5B classmates over Skype right away on Friday.  They have a concert that morning later, so they're going to practice their songs for us!  It's awesome to see our New York friends one last time before the holidays!  We'll be planning some projects with them after we come back in 2015!  

Also, of course, we'll be showing off our creativity at the TALENT SHOW!  Many of you are signed up for individual or group acts!  I'm so proud of your courage!  5B will get to show off their unique style with our "20 NEW Dance Moves to Try at Home!"  Be sure to share your move (and any others you really like) with your families!  Be sure to practice saying your dance name loudly and clearly!  I LOVE all of them!  You are all so much fun and so creative!

Lastly, I'll know you checked the blog if you go to this TodaysMeet link and remind YOURSELF and others who your past preschool buddy has been.   If you are partners with someone else, write that, too for me, ok?  Here's the list of names for you to look at.
