The Weekly Hoot
December 11-17, 2017
Greetings All -
SSSSNNNNOOOOWWWW!!!! Like real snow! The type that actually makes a snowman and a snowball! The type that makes your mood just zip straight to happy! That's the sort of snow we had last night and the type that you are braving the cold for to take the students out this morning! I think I am as excited as the kids are! In the words of Bronx last night, "This is the best night of my life!" To hear his laugh as he and his sister played in the snow and then get pictures of my little Cajun in the south Louisiana snow this morning have made my day! I hope all of you have enjoyed this rare event as well! :)
I hope all of you are as ready for the weekend as I am! Morgan and her family are coming in this weekend and we have her bridal shower. Excited about all the fun that a wedding in the family brings. It is going to be a whirlwind time until February 3rd. It has been a crazy week, and I am sure next week might not be any better! What a fun time of year it is though. Thank you for all that you do to make sure that this season is special to our students.
Muffins for Mom is this coming week. I am asking Trina if things can be set up by 7:10 on Thursday so that everyone has a chance to attend the event with their kiddos. I will let you know. If not, please take turns with your team in making sure that everyone gets a chance to stop by for muffins.
I said this last year, but it still holds true. So many different activities are going to be taking place over the next nine school days. It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, as we all well know. I hope you take the time in your classroom at some point to dim the lights, turn on the Christmas music, read a Christmas story, make a parent Christmas gift, or play a fun Christmas game. My very favorite memories of Elementary school center around the holidays. At some point, I know I learned everything I was supposed to academically, but the things I truly remember are the ways that the teachers made me feel, especially during the holidays. Though it is hard for us to imagine, some students best memories of Christmastime will be things that happened at school. Let's make it as joyful as possible for them, while still trying to maintain our sanity and some type of order! LOL!! No small task, I know! :)
Everyone have a great weekend and make some memories!! I am headed to my church's Alter Society Christmas Party tonight. Donovan and I will be the youngest people there by 20 years probably, but it is always a good time. :)
PS. Please remember that if you want me to come and read to your class in the next week to send me an email. Thanks!
Love to all,
Marcy
