Mrs. Thinnes' Class
Dec. 14th, 2015
I can hardly believe it is the last week of the year, and what a busy week it is! We are all very excited about all of our upcoming events and holidays. With that said although I understand their excitement my expectations remain the same. Our classroom continues to run as normal as possible, with Reader's Workshop, Writer's Workshop, and Math. During our brief social studies time we are studying Christmas around the World.

Tis the season
My heart is so warmed not just by your generousity to our 2 sponsored Odell families, but by the love you have shown. How amazing it is for your children to be part of making a difference. They will never truly understand the impact they have on these families, but having been on the receiving end of such genourosity the gratitude is both unexpressable and unimaginable. Thank you for from the bottom of my heart. May your Christmas be merry and bright!
