Happy December! We had a great 1st week back. I will be posting information about our class holiday party later this week. But for now, we have a busy week ahead of us!!
This week, we have 2 field trips. On Tuesday, we will head to the fire safety village, students should wear their class t-shirt, pants, and sneakers. Students' lunches also need to be packed in a disposable bag on this day, no physical lunchboxes please. Also, we will be outside for a good portion of the trip so they should wear a jacket. On Wednesday, we will head to the ballet. Students should dress up for the occasion. On both days, students may buy or bring a sacked lunch.
We are excited to announce our 3rd annual Barnes and Noble Night on Tuesday, December 5th 4:00-7:00 pm! Please join us for all the fun!
At our class holiday party, we will be doing a book exchange. A note went home on Friday with the details. Please send in a new or gently-used age appropriate wrapped book to be swapped during our holiday party. Barnes and Noble night would be a great time to grab a book, get it wrapped, and support Teasley! Please email me if you have any questions or need any support. :)
From the attendance committee:
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Coming to school every day on-time is a key ingredient to student success. The Teasley Attendance Team wants to reward those students who come to school ready to learn and on time every day. Any student who has perfect attendance, (which means no excused or unexcused absences or tardies) through the end of the 2nd 9 weeks, Wednesday, December 20th, will receive recognition for their attendance. These students will receive a free dress down day, a special treat, and a brag tag for their bookbags. Students who have perfect attendance for the entire school year will be invited to a special celebration during the last week of school to praise their commitment to their education. Thank you for your support in getting your student to school every day!
