This week we will be wrapping up much of our work -- publishing letters, taking our end-of-unit math assessment, and wrapping up our work with non-fiction books. Please partner with us in encouraging your children to "finish strong" in these last few days!
We have a few additional items on our schedule this week that we'd like you to take note of:
- On Thursday, December 17th we will visit the Big Map with Mr. Smith for a second time. It was a hit last Friday and we're sure that with a bit more knowledge in our back pockets about North America, this second visit will be even better. Plus, taking your shoes off amplifies the fun.
- Please join us on Friday, December 18th at 2:00 for Lessons and Carols in the gym. It is always a wonderful service and a beautiful conclusion to this portion of the year, as well as a perfect entry to the holiday season.
Lastly, we want to draw your attention to an upcoming small group opportunity. We hope you have had a moment to meet Caroline Black, Trinity's Guidance Counselor, who has been a wonderful addition to our community. Caroline will be helping facilitate a small group in the new year called Child Parent Relationship Training (CPRT).
The group is designed to help parents with the following:
- Reducing problem behaviors utilizing limit setting and choice giving techniques
- Developing responsibility and self-control in children
- Increasing children's self esteem and self confidence
- Increasing parents' feelings of warmth for their children
- Communicating more effectively with your child
The program will run for 10 weeks starting in January and will be held every Thursday, starting January 14th, from 6:30-8:30. Should you have more questions regarding program content, cost, or other logistics, please don't hesitate to contact us or Caroline Black (cblack@tescharlotte.org) for further information.

We wish you a festive, merry, and joyful last week of school before the break -- and hope to see each of you before the holiday begins!
