Field Trip to the Smithsonian for “Seasons of Light”:

We are visiting the Smithsonian Museum for a performance about the variety of ways cultures around the world celebrate the Winter Solstice. The performance will be on the last day of school before break on Wednesday Dec. 21^st.  We can have 2-3 official chaperones for this trip. If additional parents would like to attend they can meet us at the theater and purchase tickets the day of the performance if there are some available. If you would like to be a chaperone for this trip let me know. The first 3 parents who request to come on this trip will be our “official” chaperones.

Candy Houses:  One of the most fun projects in Kindergarten is the “Candy House”. It is a take off from the Gingerbread tradition that is popular to make during the holidays. I have given a list of 3-4 items for your family to contribute to make the Candy House. Every child will need to bring an empty ½ gal. cardboard container from milk or juice as the base for his or her house. Please send in your supplies ASAP. The children are very anxious to get started on this project. I would love to have some parents who can assist us with this project. If you can offer a morning or afternoon out of you schedule please let me know. We will make our schedule accommodate yours.
