Kindergarten and 1st Grade will be presenting Colors of the Season on Friday, December 18th at 10:15 am. The production will be happening in the Lowell Elementary School gym. Although seating is provided, it can be limited, and will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. Our kindergartners have been working hard on their songs and I am sure that their performance will be adorable!
Kinders will be singing some songs on their own, and other songs will be with a 1st grade accompaniment.
I hope to see you there!
Love,
Mrs. Griffith

Baby It's Cold Outside!
As the weather turns chilly and snow begins to fall, we enter the season of SNOW GEAR! All kinders need to wear weather-appropriate clothing to school including warm boots or shoes, a heavy winter coat, mittens, and hats. Kiddos can also wear snow pants to school. A few tips to keep in mind when choosing snow gear for your child:
Coat
Does it have a hood?
Is it large enough to fit over other cold-weather clothing such as sweatshirts?
Can my child independently put on and take off the coat, including zipping?
Label with your child's name somewhere inside the coat.
Snow Pants
Can my child independently put on and take off the snow pants?
If they choose to wear them during the day...can my child independently undress to use the restroom?
Label with your child's name somewhere inside the pants.
It is inevitable that hats and gloves will go missing throughout the winter. It is important that kindergartners learn responsibility and cold-weather gear is great practice!
We have LOTS and LOTS of snow boots and heavy winter coats at school, if you are in need please let me know or talk to Ms. Nave at the front desk.

Elf on the Shelf
He has arrived!!!Our Elf on the Shelf made his debut yesterday morning and the kinders could not be more excited. He left us a note and a package that contained a special book! We read the book and learned about "Elf Laws". The laws say that elves cannot talk to kids, or move when kids are looking. We also learned that the elf will lose his Christmas magic if he gets touched by a human.
In order for our elf to get his Christmas magic we had to give him a name. After much consideration and a few class votes we decided to name him Henry (or Hank for short!). Henry has been hanging around our classroom and helping us use our imaginations and creating mischief along the way!
Love,
Mrs. Griffith
