We will be having a Pajama Day on Friday, December 21st. Please send your child to school on that day wearing their pajamas and comfortable shoes. Keep in mind that we will be going outside to play, so bring boots for them to change into if you’d like. We have been studying hibernation, migration, and adaptation and will watch the movie Over the Hedge to celebrate the end of the unit.
