January 4, 2019

We had so much fun in the weeks leading up to winter vacation! Lots of holiday activities took place around our building. I hope you enjoyed a wonderful and restful break with family and friends! I am looking forward to a successful 2019 with our Pandas! 

Gingerbread Galore

Many students across the building completed many activities having to do with gingerbread! From reading stories, to writing their own versions, the gingerbread man was hard to catch at Parkview! To top it all off we created a wide variety of gingerbread houses!

All Aboard!

The students in Mrs. Eaton's class studied the Chris Van Allsburg classic, The Polar Express. As a fun culmination the class gathered in their pajamas to enjoy the film adaptation of the book.

Preschool Fun

Winter Crafting

Mrs. Capobianco's class worked hard to create some beautiful crafts to bring home for the holidays!

Board Game Fun!

Mrs. Cordeira's and Mrs. Izzo's classes celebrated Mrs. Willis's birthday with a fun afternoon of board games! There were some great games, lots of sportsmanship, and tons of FUN!

PAWS-itive Referrals

Another group of students have earned Paws-itive Referrals for their stellar behavior! Way to go!

A Journey of Kindness with NED!

We took a trip to Kenya with our friends Kozmo and Ned! We learned all about kindness and helped to bring clean water to a village in Kenya! Our staff and students learned many valuable lessons and had lots of fun while doing it!

Community Meeting

We gathered before vacation for our final Community Meeting of 2018. We discussed how we demonstrated December's trait of GENEROSITY and different ways that we can show our trait for January when we return in 2019: INCLUSIVITY! We also gave out our Box Top trophy to Mrs. Feeney's class. Lastly, we handed out this month's Proud Panda awards.

PTA Movie Night

www.randomactsofkindness.org publishes a Kindness Calendar each month full of ideas to help make our world a better place! I challenge you to embrace kindness and complete some of these activities as a family this month!
