January 3 - January 7
A Note From Ms. D
We have had a great week full of fun and special activities. On Tuesday we had a day of Qatari Culture focus activities in celebration of Qatar National Day. On Wednesday we had an all-elementary assembly, winter rotations and holiday parties, and on Thursday we continued our holiday theme with a few more activities and crafts!
I would just like to take a moment to say that it has been an honor and a privilege to get to know and work with your children over the past few months. Thank you for all of your support and flexibility (especially in the last week with holiday parties and travel plans etc...)
I look forward to seeing everyone back in the new year! Until then, here's to your safe and restful vacations!
The blog has been updated with pictures from the week.
Sincerely,
Ms. D
Reminder: Tuesday, January 5th will be a full day schedule.

New Math Games Packet
Today a binder of math games was sent home in your child's home bag in a brown envelope. Some of these are games we have played before, and many we will be playing in class after the new year. Please feel free to use these as a fun way to keep your child's skills sharp over the break. The cards needed for each game are included with the packet on yellow card stock. Please keep this game binder because we will be using them as part of the homework assignments.
Have a great break!!
