Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. The time off of school probably came at a good time. Many of the children were getting a cold and the extra rest was needed. Now we will be busy in December preparing for Christmas.
This week we will read the story Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes. Along with this story, we will be working with the letter P. I have included a word list with this note. Please go through the words every night. If your child knows how to read them without blending the letters, you do not have to go through the list. In math, we will review our numbers and work with a new apparatus, the geoboard. This will be a lot of fun for us and a good thing to help us discover what shapes we can make. During our circle time, we will talk about different modes of transportation. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand” and “Jesus Walks on Water.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus teaches his disciples to trust him.
As we prepare for Christmas, I want to remind you of a few things. First of all, the children will all be expected to participate in our Christmas program on Saturday, December 20. The program will start at 5:30 and a second program will be at 7:00. The kindergarten children will only be asked to be in the first service. I will send home more information regarding this later on in December.
The second thing that I must remind you of is the gift of pajamas that we will give to the needy. Please bring your set of pajamas by Friday, December 12. Also, if possible, I could use some shirt gift boxes for the children to wrap their gifts. We will wrap the pajamas and give them to Mrs. Zambrano to distribute to the needy. Thank you for helping out with this endeavor.
Finally, we will have the class Christmas party on December 18 at 1:30 pm. You are certainly welcome to attend this party and join us for an afternoon of fun. I am asking parents whose last names begin with A-L to help out by bringing the treats and goodies to the party. I will have a sign-up sheet on my classroom door so please see what you would like to bring. Thanks.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
Mrs. Kronebusch
