This week we will finally get a break from school. Many of your children are showing me that they need a rest. The colds are starting and we have had a few cases of the flu. I hope that by having the break we will rid ourselves of an epidemic. The reason you have the break is due to the fact that the teachers will be in Phoenix attending a conference. There will be no school or child care on November 8-9. Please note that in your planning for the week.
This week we will be reading the story Dinner at the Panda Palace by Stephanie Calmenson. In addition to the story, we will work with the letter T. As you can see, I added the words yellow, green and orange to the stack of sight words. Please keep practicing the words. It will really help your child later in the year. In math, we are learning about time. This is a relatively new concept so we will spend a lot of time reviewing it. For circle time, we will be working on several art projects which must be done by the end of the week. Our Bible lessons will be “Joseph Shows Kindness to His Brothers” and “Joseph Forgives His Brothers.” From these lessons we will learn that God wants us to show love and forgiveness to others.
The children sing in the early (8:45) service on November 18. Please mark that date on the calendar. Your child will need to be here at 8:30 in order for us to go through the song. I will send more information later concerning the singing.
The children received their report cards last Friday. Please keep the report card and return the white envelope as soon as possible. I will recycle the envelope. Thank you.
I hope that all of you have a wonderful break. Enjoy the week!
