Monday's Tattler



Good morning and welcome back after break! So much to do - so little time.

This month, because of the cold and likely snow, we will be learning how to watch a movie. We are trying to start with ET, but it's been hard to locate. If you have a copy, please bring it along.

We were able to watch a docudrama on the discovery of the South Pole during the two days in school during break. The kids received this very well. My hopes for learning to watch are very high.

Please bring your children to school in long sleeves. It's winter and it's chilly in the building. Keeping the temperature down helps keep germs down.

In the preschool class, we are reviewing the alphabet, the phonemes and learning to listen to directions concerning art. Should be a great day - lots of prizes.

We will be sending home new emergency cards. Please return them promptly with current phone numbers. In case of an illness, we need to be able to get in touch with you.

We will be ordering sweatshirts this month. Not sure of the cost, but these are what we will wear on all winter field trips.

No field trips this month in lieu of the sweatshirts.

Miss Judy's book is out. It is available as an e book at Whiskey Creek Press. It will be arriving in paperback in a couple of days. I'm excited.

Mrs. St. Louis had a fabulous time in Australia. She enjoyed her family very much and although her flight was long - 24 hours each way, she said she'd do it again - with some thought.

Miss Molly is expecting puppies from her dog, Sophie. They will arrive in a couple of weeks. If you would like a small poodle pug terrier mix, please talk to her.

Have a great day!

My husband and I loved ET as kids, but we haven't let our boys watch it yet. The thought of them calling each other "penis breath" is more that I can handle at this time! Lots of movies now have words we don't use, but we talk about them with the boys to make sure they understand what words can and cannot be used in our household. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your families.
