Decorating Santa's new suit! 

Thank you for sending in all kinds of wonderful materials for the kids to decorate a new suit for Santa!!

Santa's suit has accidentally shruck in the dryer and we are helping Mrs. Clause get a new suit put together for Santa and we will be working on writing about our design and trying to persuade Mrs. Claus to choose one of our designs!

Homework:  We will have math homework on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  If your child hasn't turned in their reading calendar for November they need to do so by Friday. They will lose 20 points out of the 200 for being 2 weeks late but it is better than a zero.
