December

December brings an excitement much like that of the new school year.  It's fun to watch the students walk into the building chattering about the weather or fun holiday events that have taken place the previous evening.  The snow that emerged last week caused the excitement to hit an all time high.  There were talks of possible snow days and hopes of playing outside in the snow.  I thoroughly enjoy this time of year and the excitement of the students, but not so much the weather.  Be sure to keep an eye out when it comes to the forecast and clothing choices, especially for recess time.

Castlio has another week of giving that begins on Monday.  Castlio families will decorate a gingerbread house by donating hats, mittens, gloves, scarves and socks in children or adult sizes.  The items will be donated to the Crisis Nursery, Youth in Need and Salvation Army.  If possible help us reach those in the community that could use items to keep them warm during this very cold season.

Our upcoming events for the week are:  Tuesday-3rd grade Spectra and Aimsweb testing for all, Wednesday-library and 3rd grade bullying assembly, Thursday-2nd grade Spectra is cancelled, and the 2nd grade bullying assembly.
