*November 22^nd: Thanksgiving Celebration- 12:15-1:15. 

We invite all parents, siblings, relatives that may be here in Singapore to a celebration in our back courtyard. We have been talking about appreciating how we are the same and different, and how we may celebrate similar or different holidays and participate in various amazing celebrations. Let’s do this together! Please bring a dish (main, snack or dessert) from a country that is special to you (passport country, a place you have lived or called home…) so we can celebrate each other, and our amazing classroom community. We will eat together and have a great time. Students are invited to wear clothes/dress from a country that is special to them. Our room moms have offered to organize the food so please look out for their e-mails. We look forward to seeing you here! Please let us know if you will not be able to attend.

*November 23^rd and 24^th: NO SCHOOL-Thanksgiving Holiday

*December 22^nd to January 14^th: NO SCHOOL-WINTER BREAK

*January 15^th: First Day Back at school

*Parents In the Classroom*

I am attaching a document to this e-mail that invites you into the classroom. I would also like to invite parents in if they want to share about a special holiday/celebration that is important for their family. (Examples, Divali, Christmas, Hannukah, Chinese New Year…). Please just contact me if there is ever a time that you would like to share something with our class, celebrate a certain holiday with us, be a guest reader, or just spend some time doing some of the activities mentioned in the attached document.

Mango and Oreo Cookie

Let me know if you would like to take our piggies home for a visit. You could take them home for a weekend or a longer break. I have instructions for you, and will give you the things you need to care for them. They don’t ride on the buses home so you would need to find a way to get them home (car or taxi.)

Have a wonderful break!
