Dear Parents,

Thank you for the Target gift card and for all of the other generous gifts. I truly appreciate each of you and it has been wonderful getting to know your children this year. I hope you have a great winter break and will see you back at school on January 9.

I also want to thank Lilly Barber for helping to organize our class party (making snow was so much fun!) and everyone who donated supplies and/or took time out of their day to be a part of the festivities. We had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better second-to-last day in 2016 together! Click here to see a few pictures. If you took any pictures of the party, please email them to me. Thanks!

See you next year!

Warmly,
Mrs. Polay

Hello parents,

I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving break! We have two more weeks of school until our three-week winter break. Continue to look inside your child's homework folder for important notices, but now you can also access our class calendar on www.mrspolay.com. I will send an email update most weeks from here on out unless there is nothing to report. The update is accessible on the "Class Updates" link on my website. Class pictures can be found by clicking, "A Look Inside" from the menu or the "Class Pictures" link on the homepage. I added some new files to our student work page, "iPads in the Classroom." More will be added soon. 

Secret Snowflake information went home on Tuesday. If for some reason it never made it out of your child's backpack, you can access the information on the calendar page of our website. Click here. Your child selected a name to be his/her Secret Snowflake. Please let me know as soon as possible if you have any questions. Thank you!

Room 16's winter party will be on Thursday, December 15 at 12:30. A volunteer and supply signup sheet will be posted next week. 

Winter Sing information went home on November 18. A schedule will go home in this week's homework folder. We will be performing at all of the shows. Students need to wear their Winter Sing outfits on both days. ​
