I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Many of you traveled over the weekend and I pray that everything went smoothly for you. Now, we only have three weeks until Christmas vacation. I know for a fact that these next few weeks will be very busy here at school.

This week we will be reading the book Cat’s Colors by Jane Cabrera. Along with this book, we will work with the letter C. I am also adding two new sight words to the stack. They are ‘like’ and ‘is.’ Continue to go through the sight words. It really does help as we start the reading process.

In math, we will work with the numbers one through nine. During our circle time, we will talk about transportation. That topic seems so appropriate since all of us are making plans for the holidays. Our Bible lessons will be “Moses and Aaron Speak to the King” and “The Plagues.” >From these lessons we will learn that some people refuse to believe in God and obey him.

On December 15, we will be having the children’s Christmas program. Your child is expected to participate in the 5:30 program. Please mark that date on your calendar. We will be working on the song and the Bible verse here at school. I will keep you posted concerning the program and any changes that may occur.

On December 13, we will have a Christmas party here at school. The children are asked to bring a gift to exchange with a fellow classmate. The boys will exchange with the boys and the girls will do likewise. Please limit the cost of these gifts. I would like the range to be between $5.00 and $7.00. Let me know if you have any questions concerning this. Also, we will have the children whose last names start with A and go through M provide the refreshments. I will appoint a party planner as soon as I can. I am only giving you this information now because I know some of you are super organizers and you like to know. Again feel free to talk to me if you have a question.

On Saturday, December 1, the Christmas for Kids program will be running. This is so much fun and if you haven’t done so already please sign up. It really helps my husband out if we get the early registrations. Thank you.

I believe that is all. Have a great week!
