Toys for Tots

The Buffalo Rotary has started their annal Toys for Tots drive.  Although we are not having a formal school-wide drive for Toys for Tots, in each classroom there is a money drop box for donations if you would like to support this drive.  Bank West is once again matching our donations up to $300.  We thank them for their generosity.

Any checks should be make out to the Buffalo Rotary.  There is also a drop box for Toys for Tots located in the front lobby of the Discovery Center.  The students have taken great ride and interest in helping to provide needy children in the Buffalo area with gifts during the holiday season.

Count to 5 for Recess!!!

Winter is here!!!  Our students go outside every day unless the temperature or wind chill is restrictive.  They are expected to have 5 items for recess:

1)  Hats

2)  Mittens/Gloves your child can get on independantly

3)  Coat with a working/child friendly zipper

4)  Snow pants

5)  Boots

Children who have all 5 items have a great time playing on the playground and in the snow.  If a student is missing any of these, they are encouraged to borrow from the lost and found table.  If they do not have boots they have to stay on the tar area of the playground.

An important part of Kindergarten is building independence!  Set your child up for success.  If at all possible make sure they have winter clothing items they can manage quickly and independently!

Gingerbread Mischief!



It has started!  We have 10 gingerbread people who visit our classroom the month of December.  The problem is that gingerbread cookies tend to be sassy and full of mischief!  And, yes, the foolery has begun!

Shar and the students are quickly trying to build a gingerbread house to keep our gingerbread friends contained and safe from the FOX!
