Next Monday, Dec. 12th at 11:00-11:55 is our Art Show. We hope you can make it to see all the great art we did this year and so that you can take it home as a holiday gift.
Today we studied the painter Andrew Wyeth and his painting titled, Soaring.
We are starting to get students' lovely holiday tradition posters. It is fun to see all the things different families do during the holidays. If you are interested in bringing a sample of something you do, please make sure to fill out the form that was sent home and let us know which date works for you to come in and talk with the class.
Today we started our next math topic, Addition Facts to 12.
And in other news...
There has been another case of Lice in the first grade at Sandburg. I am attaching some photos of lice eggs (nits) and live lice so you can see what to look for on your child’s hair/head. PLEASE check your child carefully tonight and nightly for a week. I have also attached a photo of the lice comb that I recommend you get for lice checks. This comb is very effective at removing lice and nits. The combs you pick up in the drug store are not very effective at removing eggs or lice from the hair. The teeth of the comb are too far apart and just slide through the hair. The Lice Meister or Terminator lice combs have teeth that are very close together. The teeth also have ridges that “scoop” the eggs and bugs off the hair.
With the holidays quickly approaching, the last thing we want you to have to deal with is lice! J We are trying to be very proactive to prevent this from spreading.
I am happy to meet you at the school and check your child if you are uncertain what you are seeing. If you find nits or live bugs on your child, please let the office know.
Thank you,
