A Note From Mr. Christ
Dear Paddock Families,
I hope that everyone was able to have an enjoyable, restful Thanksgiving holiday. It was wonderful to have so many families come to Parent-Teacher Conferences and learn about all the exciting things their student(s) has been working on. Families taking an interest in their student's schooling, creating a strong home to school connection, is an integral part of a student's education and we appreciate our Paddock families for their support.

Holiday Shop
The gifts are moderately priced, with most items being under $5 and few special items between $5 and $12. Parent volunteers will assist your children in the shop with their purchases, based on the amount of money they bring and the number of people they are shopping for. You can preview the items being sold at the shop by going to Paddock's page on the Holiday Treasure's website.
We will need parent volunteers to help during the shop. Please reach out to Natalie Sayre at sayre.natalie@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.

Fun Fluency Spanish Class
New Fun Fluency Immersion Spanish!
Join Fun Fluency on an afterschool aventura of learning a new language—the way your brain was meant to learn it! Don’t miss out on your child’s window of opportunity to learn a language with ease at a young age. Classes are taught by native speakers and experienced/certified Spanish teachers.
Students learn Spanish naturally through immersion, movement, games, songs, rhythm, reading, and acting out/listening to stories. Our storytelling-based method focuses on long-term retention, not just memorization. Students will quickly see how fun and easy it is to understand, read, and write in Spanish while being immersed in language, play, and laughter. This opportunity introduces your student to the many advantages of becoming bilingual and culturally aware at a young age. Check out all the fun we’re having with fluency at www.funfluency.com.
Class tuition incudes a workbook, take-home and online activities for continued practice at home. Class size is limited!
