Happy New Year to all the BCM families! Over our break I was inspired to purchase my most WONDERFUL students a little holiday gift. I am so grateful that I get to teach your child this year, and I really love our class. Each student received a candy cane, a holiday pencil, and a brand new book to take home. Many of my students have limited reading material at home which can make our reading log homework a challenge. Now they have NEW reading material! Looking forward to a fabulous next two trimesters in 2014!

This Friday is a minimum day and we will dismiss at 12:30. Winter break runs December 16 – January 6th. All students return to school on January 7th. Enjoy the family time!

There will be no school next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. All students should return on Monday, December 2. Take this time to enjoy the holiday with family and friends. I am so thankful for such a wonderful class and for such supportive parents. Thank you for making my job so wonderful!

The following letter will be sent home this week. You may choose to reply on this post, or send back the hard copy form. I have placed a class list at the top of the blog page so that students can begin filling out their Valentine cards.

Feast for Friends

February 14, 2012

 In honor of Valentine’s Day we are having a Feast for Friends in which the students will be allowed to share cards and any treats they would like to bring. Please know this is optional. They may also just enjoy being in the presence of their friends and receiving. If your child does not celebrate this holiday, please let me know and I can have an alternate placement and assignment planned. In order to prevent a sugar overload, please sign up below if you are planning to send a treat to contribute to our feast. I would like to make sure there is a balance of healthy and fun food. 🙂 Please try to stay within our theme of white, pink and red. For example, white chocolate covered strawberries, red cherry tomatoes, or pink dipped pretzel sticks. You will receive confirmation the same or next day so you have time to bake or buy. We also welcome parents in the classroom. If you would like to come in and help for the afternoon feast (1:05 – 2:30), please let me know below.  If you are not donating food or time, you do not need to return the bottom portion.   Thanks, Ms. Yanez
