La Primaria December Parent News

Dear La Primaria Families,

As the holiday season approaches, I want to wish you all a joyful and relaxing winter break. This is a special time to connect with loved ones, create cherished memories, and enjoy the warmth of family and friends.

Three weeks away from school is a perfect opportunity to rest and recharge, but we know that being out of the school routine can sometimes lead to a little learning loss. To help prevent this, I encourage you to carve out a few moments each day to enjoy a book with your child. Reading together not only strengthens skills but also creates beautiful memories to treasure. 📚❤️

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on Monday, January 6th, 2025 for an exciting new year of learning and growth. Until then, have a wonderful winter break filled with love, laughter, and plenty of cozy moments.

Warmest wishes,
Mrs. Hamilton
Principal, La Primaria Elementary School

Here are some fun and meaningful suggestions for students and parents to enjoy during Winter break:

Family Activities

1. Craft Together: Create holiday decorations, cards, or homemade ornaments.
2. Cook or Bake: Try baking cookies or making a traditional family recipe.
3. Game Night: Host a family game or puzzle night with holiday-themed activities.
4. Watch Holiday Movies: Cozy up with classics or new family-friendly films.
5. Read Together: Pick a festive book or let kids explore a new series.

Outdoor Fun

1. Visit Holiday Lights: Take a drive or walk to enjoy decorated homes and neighborhoods.
2. Explore Nature: Go for hikes, bike rides, or even a local park visit.
3. Community Events: Attend parades, tree-lighting ceremonies, or winter festivals.

Giving Back

1. Volunteer: Help at a local food bank, animal shelter, or community event.
2. Acts of Kindness: Encourage children to make cards or small gifts for neighbors, friends, or family.

Learning and Creativity

1. STEM Projects: Build a snowman (real or craft), make slime, or try a science kit.
2. Practice Skills: Keep reading and practicing math or writing for a little academic fun.
3. New Year’s Resolutions: Reflect on goals and write down plans for the new year.

Just for Fun

1. Scavenger Hunt: Plan a holiday-themed treasure hunt indoors or outdoors.
2. Photoshoot: Create a family holiday photo album with candid and posed pictures.

Encourage families to make the most of the break with activities that build connections, foster creativity, and spread holiday cheer! Would you like to include any of these in a newsletter or message?

Even though the temperatures have been mild, it can be pretty chilly for those early morning recess times. Please make sure your child brings a coat to school each day.

Also, please take the time to write your child's name on the sweaters, coats, and jacket labels.

Our Lost & Found red coat rack, located in front of the school, is overflowing with jackets, sweaters, and other items looking to be reunited with their owners! 🧥🧣

If your child is missing something, please take a moment to check the rack. Any unclaimed items will be packed up and donated after Friday, Dec. 13th. Please refrain from picking up items from the lost and found unless they belong to your child. This ensures all students have the opportunity to reclaim their lost belongings.

Let’s work together to bring these lost treasures back home before they find a new one! Thank you for your help.

Warm wishes,

La Primaria Cubs
