Snowy Recess Rules

Hi Parents,

The kids will go outside for recess during the winter season as long as the temperature is higher than 20 degrees with wind chill.

Snowy Recess Rules
*Students without boots must stay on the pavement, away from the snow
*Students with boots may walk through shallow snow
*Students with snow pants and boots may play in the snow (shallow or deep)
*Students must have gloves to touch the snow
*Students may never throw snow
*The play structure will be closed if covered with ice or snow

**We will not put snow pants on every recess, as dressing and undressing can be very time consuming.

Thanks,
Mrs. Newman

Mystery Sweater


I found a navy blue, knit sweater with buttons down the front on the floor. However, nobody is claiming it! Does this belong to your child? If so, please email me!

Winter Fun


Dear Parents,

Our class Wintertime Celebration is approaching. I am looking to work with three volunteers to organize, donate, and run craft activities or games with the kids during our celebration.

Our celebration will be Wednesday, December 18th from 2:00-2:45pm.

Please email me if you are interested in organizing and planning for our celebration! If there are more than three volunteers, I will hold a lottery and you will be notified if you are chosen.

In your email please include: 
*your child's name
*your name (which is CORI approved)
*your craft and/or game ideas 

Thank you for your support, 
Mrs. Newman

FYI...I added a link to the Everyday Math Games to the right sidebar of this blog.

Kindergarten Community Meeting Changed Again!!

There may be bad weather on Monday the 9th, so the Miller staff thought it would be best to have the Kindergarten Community Meeting today. We didn't have our "I don't bully" shirts, but that was okay. We all "go with the flow" in Room 110.

Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Newman

We Did It Again!

Dear Parents,
We filled our classroom marble jar! This means we have been great listeners, followed directions, and have been super kind! As a reward, today the students watched the fun winter movie, Frosty the Snowman. Also, we will have a “show and tell” on Monday, December 9th. The students may bring in a special item from home to share with the class. This special item should be non-breakable, inexpensive, and able to fit inside a backpack.
                     Great Job Class,
Mrs. Newman

Community Meeting Date Keeps Changing

The Kindergarten Community Meeting was this Friday the 5th. A notice went home today saying that it was changed to tomorrow, Wednesday the 4th. However, I just received a message saying that Kindergarten Community Meeting is going to be changed again to next Monday the 9th. If you see this post, don't bother sending your child in with his/her green "I don't bully shirt."
