Happy December!

We had a special visitor from the North Pole join our class today! He completely destroyed our classroom by knocking over desks, throwing homework on the floor, and even tied himself up with yarn! What will he do next???

Here is the link to The Nutcracker Permission Slip 
If your student doesn’t have a permission slip filled out by the day of the field trip, (December 4) they will not be able to attend. 

party timeAlso we have our Winter party on Friday December 15th from about 11:40am-1:30pm. I will be graduating that day (woot woot!!) and will have a sub, so we are looking for more volunteers to help. Please email me at jferrin@questac.org if you are willing and able to help with the party. The more volunteers we have, the less chaotic it will be for our sub 🙂 

Currently, I have no parents signed up to help! I would like to have at least 5-6 volunteers if possible. Thank you!

A HUGE THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU TO POCA!!!!!! 
POCA IS GOING TO PAY FOR OUR ENTIRE FIRST GRADE FIELD TRIP! WE WILL BE GOING TO THE EGYPTIAN THEATER TO SEE THE MAGICAL PRODUCTION OF  THE BELOVED NUTCRACKER  Monday, December 4th.

We will experience the following:
America’s favorite holiday celebration…Join Clara as she travels to the Sugar Plum Fairy’s Castle to the Land of Sweets. It is the height of the holiday tradition where families and friends of all ages will be delighted with the magical story of Clara and her Nutcracker. Nothing brings the magic of the holiday season to life more than the worlds favorite ballet. In the  Julie Moffitt Ballet School “The Nutcracker” you’ll experience Waltzing Flowers, dancing polar bears and penguins, and adorable dancing sugarplums. Of course Dr. Drosselmeyer will have new magic up his sleeve to delight audiences of all ages in the Christmas Eve party scene! It’s one event, the one time a year…It’s the Nutcracker! The JMBS Nutcracker captures the best of imagination and delight of the entire family with colorful sets, beautiful costuming and sparkling choreography. The most entertaining fun and affordable event this holiday season.

**We have a VERY limited amount of tickets, so ONLY the parents who have signed up, and are notified that they are coming, will be allowed to attend.  Chaperones will be selected on a first come first SERVED basis. Sorry NO SIBLINGS WILL BE ALOUD ON THIS FIELD TRIP.
