It’s the week before Christmas, and we are feeling the excitement in the classroom!
Our class holiday party will be on Thursday, December 18th. That morning, we will also have our festive holiday sock exchange, and the flyer is still attached here with all the details! As a reminder, there is no school on Friday, December 19th, as it is a teacher work day!
We only have two weeks left in Quarter 2, I can't believe we already have made it half way through the year. Quarter 2 will officially close on January 9th, and grades will be posted the following week on January 16th. In class, we are wrapping up our Ancient Rome unit this week! When we return from break, we will begin Unit 5: Light and Sound. As a fun culminating activity to celebrate all we’ve learned about Ancient Rome, we will have our annual Rome Day on Friday, January 16th. Watch out for a sign-up genius coming about this.
When we return from winter break, Monday, January 5th is a teacher work day, so students will return on Tuesday, January 6th! I am looking forward to spending this last week of 2025 with your students and can’t wait to jump into 2026 with them!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- Parents please connect to our Class Dojo- this is how to monitor your students behavior (positive and negative)
- Please send your student to school with a filled water bottle as well as a couple healthy snacks for the day. Reminder that we are a nut-free classroom.
- Colorado weather changes hourly so please pack your student appropriate attire for the day.
- We will have PE every Wednesday - and some Fridays. Please have your student wear tennis shoes for those days.
- Library day is Tuesday

Meet Mrs. Chambless
I am in my 18th year teaching, ninth year at AVA! LOVE it here! I have taught kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd. I am a Colorado native and love being with my family. My husband, Matt, works as a specialist for Douglas County School District... we are a teaching family! I have a freshman in college, Allikaye, who attends Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. I also have twins in seventh grade, Kai and Cambria. We are a busy family and like it that way! We are out playing sports, hiking, traveling, camping, and love being outdoors... Colorado living... especially living in the pines in Larkspur! I love coffee, reading, rainbow colors, smiley faces, and donuts! This is going to be a great year! Thank you for sharing your sweet children with me!!
