Hello to everyone!
Big news this week is I am in still quarantine! I sent out an email twice to all families,
but I don’t think everyone got it…it may be
in your junk mail. On Tuesday, I was exposed to someone who tested positive for
COVID. So, I am in quarantine until December 22nd. So far, I have no
symptoms. Hopefully it will remain that way. Mrs. Hecht is our sub, and she is
WONDERFUL! She is a former teacher, and has a special superpower in Math
instruction, so your kids are definitely in good hands.
I am going to do some one on one assessing
this week via Teams, so I will be touching base with all students this week!
Here are this week’s announcements:
*We will begin our next unit of sight
words when we return to school in January. Kids will have a spelling test on December 16,
then no new sound out spelling list until we return from Christmas break.
*I will be assessing each child in the
reading of their unit 1 sight word list this week. I will start on Tuesday, so
please have them review reading all the unit 1 sight words on Monday evening.
*Friday, December 18th is our last day
of school before Christmas Break. We return to school on Monday, January 4th.
*Grinch Day is Friday (THIS IS A SURPRISE!!! Please do
not tell your child.) We will watch the Grinch movie (the Jim Carrey
one) on Friday, and have a pizza movie snack. The only thing your child needs to bring for the snack is
their favorite drink to go with their pizza!
*Did you know…the free lunch program has been
extended to the end of the year for ALL students. Great news!
*This week is holiday dress-up week at
Willow Creek! Here are the dress-up/theme days:
