Tomorrow is our Polar Express Party and Read-a-Thon
- Bring pillows and blankets, wear PJs if you want, and bring lots of books to read. Bring treats to share if you want to.
- Bring an empty backpack or plastic bag to carry home all of the presents you buy at the store.

We probably won't write in our planner tomorrow, so over our vacation you need to read 30 minutes a day and memorize your recorder songs and have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

See you in 2009!
