We will be having our next Publishing Party Friday January 18^th from 8:00-8:30am and you are all invited!   Any and all family members are welcome to come.  The students will be bringing home invitations early next week.

Synergy earned a whole team sledding party last Thursday.  All 4 classes filled their honey jars and the teachers came up with the fantastic idea of a sledding party.  We couldn’t have picked a better day for the party, with warm temperatures and sunny skies. The sledding party was great fun for all the students of synergy and all the adult kids that work with Synergy.

In reader’s workshop and read aloud we have been focusing in on characters and settings.  We are currently reading the BFG by Roald Dahl.  All of Roald Dahl’s books are amazing as they have such rich characters and such detailed settings. Please encourage your children to tell you about the characters and settings in the books they are reading and the books you are reading together.   

Another quick reminder please do not send any snacks that contain peanuts.   There are several students in Synergy that are allergic to peanuts.  Since every student in Synergy visits our classroom it is extremely important to not expose those that are allergic, to peanuts, or even the oils that could possibly be left behind.   An exposure can and often leads to an ambulance ride and a visit to the ER for the allergic students.
