Monday is bring your favorite toy day, library books due

Remember library books are due on Mondays

And this monday (NOV 30) is 🐶 Bring your favorite toy day
Our class earned a "Favorite Toy Day" so each child can bring one toy to show and share. If students do not want to share the toy they can tell about it and then put it back into their backpacks for home play. Some students just want to show and tell and they have reservations about other children playing with "their" toy; if your child doesn't mind sharing their favorite toy they will have an opportunity to have it out during choosing time.

Tuesday is PTA Meeting: FREE PIZZA + BeSmart Presentation
Please join the PTA and fellow Buckman families in the school cafeteria on Tuesday, December 1 at 6pm for the last meeting of 2015. The first 30 minutes will be a pizza free for all and social time. Then volunteers from the BeSmart campaign will give a brief presentation about how we can work together as a community to keep our kids safe from unintentional shootings as a result of children's access to unsecured guns. Q&A and open discussion follow this brief presentation. For more information about BeSmart please visit -www.besmartforkids.org. You won't want to miss the valuable information presented. Free childcare provided.

Wednesday evening is 🚸Anxiety in Children Workshop
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, “anxiety disorders affect one in eight children. Research shows that untreated children with anxiety disorders are at higher risk to perform poorly in school, miss out on important social experiences, and engage in substance abuse." Come and learn some great strategies to help support your children!
