WINTER CLASSROOM PARTIES
Camanche Elementary classrooms will have their winter parties on Tuesday, December 21st. Please call the CES main office if you would like to purchase a snack and drink for your student’s classroom. Cost is .90 per student and includes BOTH the snack and drink. For example, a classroom that has 20 students would cost $18.00. All orders are due by FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10TH. Thank you for keeping our students safe!
WINTER MUSIC PROGRAM
DATE: Monday, December 20th
LOCATION: Camanche High School Gym
TIME(S): Afternoon: 1:30 p.m. – This will be a TK-4th grade program (Students will be bussed to and from this program)
Evening: 6:00 p.m. -- TK-2nd Grade
7:00 p.m. -- 3rd–4th Grade
What your child(ren) should wear: Comfort is key – The kids are standing on risers, and some may be sitting on the floor for instrument play or movement. We ask that no students wear hats as this could be a distraction on the risers and during movement it could be a safety issue.
For the afternoon program: All children will be transported to and from the elementary school, and will go home as they usually do from school.
For the evening programs:
TK-2nd grade students: Please arrive to your assigned high school room by 5:45 p.m.
3rd-4th grade students: Please arrive to your assigned high school room by 6:45 p.m.
-- You will pick your child(ren) up from the same classroom after the program is done.
If you have children in both evening programs: You must pick up your younger child when his/her program is done and have them watch the 3rd and 4th grade program. For the older child(ren), they will get to watch the TK-2nd grade program with you, as they will not be allowed into their assigned classrooms until 6:45 p.m.

FROM MRS. MUNSON
CES students are learning to be their own problem solvers. An important aspect of solving conflicts with others is to approach it calmly and have empathy. This week, talk with your student about: “If we can’t see eye to eye, let’s try heart to heart.” We may not always see eye to eye and agree, but we can always show empathy and respect. Showing others kindness and compassion improves our quality of life at home, school, work, and in the community. It brings people together, no matter their differences. Showing kindness to others is just as rewarding as receiving it from someone else. For more information on teaching your child compassion visit: https://www.scholastic.com/parents/family-life/social-emotional-learning/social-skills-for-kids/13-ways-to-raise-caring-and-compassionate-child.html and https://www.huffpost.com/entry/8-ways-to-teach-compassio_b_5568451
Sincerely,
Mrs. Munson
