MERRY CHRISTMAS
Just a few notes:
Starting Jan. 4, 2010, OLL will not be offering breakfast at school. Please make sure your child has a good healthy breakfast before they come to school. This may mean they might have to get up 10 minutes earlier. Each student will be responsible for their own snack. They can bring a box of granola bars and leave it in their locker and then take one out at snack time. We will probably have snack at 9:15 A.M. They will still get their milk with the snack. If you have any questions please call the office.
Another reminder that I will not be here the week of Jan. 4th – 8th. Mrs. Zifko will be here for me. Any questions you can call Mr. Bell or Ms. Sara in the office.
Please join the OLL school on Christmas Eve Children Mass at 4:00 if you can.
Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
We had a wonderful surprise this morning. Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause!! The kids sat on Santa’s lap and told him what they wanted and if they were being good.
This is late in coming! I shouldn’t have excuses, but I think you all know how things can get this time of year. Plus, we don’t have a computer or Liberian teacher, so I lost three prep periods. Many students have been bringing in gifts for the gift exchange. We will have a low keyed Christmas party – gift exchange on Tuesday, Dec. 22 in the afternoon. Each student can bring a gift to exchange that cost $5.00 - $7.00. A few students asked if they could bring in treats for the students and that would be ok. If we end up with too many treats, I will send home the extras. We will play a few games and read a story.
This week has been a little unusual. We are still working on our math, spelling, religion, social studies, and language. I have been reading Legend stories; The Legend of the Poinsettia, The Legend of the Candy Cane (my favorite), The Legend of the Christmas Tree, and The Legend of the Christmas Rose. Along with reading these stories we have done review math with money, time, addition and subtraction. They have practiced their spelling words with activities that go along with the themes. We have done some writing activities and art projects. These should all be coming home Friday.
We had our Baby Jesus Birthday Party yesterday and the kids made many beautiful Christmas cards to be delivered to the local Nursing Homes. Thank you to the entire wonderful gift the kids brought in for the ABC Healthy Family Program.
I would also say a big thank you to everyone who donated something for the classroom Winter Wonderland Basket. I didn’t get the message until late and several parents called around and we put together a big, beautiful Gourmet basket.
Remember to have the student still read daily and they can start memorizing their multiplication facts. We will start learning the multiplication facts when I get back from Christmas break.
This brings me to the next information I need to share. I will not be back to school until Jan. 11, 2010. Ms. Zifko will be the substitute teacher for the week after vacation. Please remind your child to be respectful and good listeners. I have confidence they will. This is a great group of students.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.
