News from Kindergarten

Manners matter was the theme in Mrs. Magnusson’s kindergarten class for the month of November. We learned proper etiquette when at the table, what to do when meeting new people, and to always wait our turn. Even though we are small, we know it is important to always be polite. We celebrated our success with a special Manners Matter snack. We are very proud of these little ladies and gentlemen!

Paint & Sip Club

During the first meeting of the Paint & Sip Club, participants made beautiful snowmen and (mostly) enjoyed the blood orange cranberry flavored seltzer water. :-) It was so much fun! 

Holiday Giving Tree

The PTO will be sponsoring a Giving Tree for the holidays this year. If you would like to participate, please email me with the child’s (children’s) age, a few items that they would like, and your contact information. Please feel free to include younger/older students who may not attend Northwood School. I will contact you the week before vacation and let you know when you can pick up the items. Please have all requests emailed to me by Friday, November 22nd. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.  

Thank you,
