Dear Parents,
I know many of you are busy with Christmas preparations. I hope that you are taking time to get plenty of rest. I notice that the children in class are getting pretty worn out. Some have even gotten nasty colds. Please make sure that they get lots of rest and time to relax. Hopefully, they will stay healthy for the holidays. This week we will be reading the story No, No Titus by Claire Masurel. Along with this book, we will be working with the letter N. Also, please add the words ‘big’ and ‘in’ to the stack of sight words. Don’t forget to practice the words. I am starting to play games using the sight words in the classroom. Your work at home really helps the children. In math, we will be working with the numbers one through ten. We will continue using the geoboards to help us with line segments and the various shapes. During our circle time, we will talk about different Christmas customs. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Shows His Glory” and “Peter Tells Who Jesus Is.” From these lessons we will learn that Jesus came to die for us.
I know the weather has been pleasant, but I must insist on having jackets here for the children to wear. Some of them are not bringing jackets to school. However, we do have some chilly mornings and we need the jackets. Thank you.
If you have not already done so, please send your pair of pajamas to school by Friday. I also will be in need of shirt boxes to help with the wrapping process. I believe I will have enough wrapping paper and other such items. Thank you for your donations. Mrs. Zambrano and the organization which gives out the pajamas will be featured on Good Morning America on Monday. I will be taping the segment to show the children how special the donation will be.
The party for our classroom will be on Thursday, December 18 at 1:30 pm. I have a sign up list on the classroom door and the people in class whose last name starts with A-L should sign up to help with the party. Those who do not help with this party will be asked to bring things for the Valentines party.
Please mark your calendar for December 20. We will have the children’s program that evening at 5:30 pm. Your child is only expected to participate in the first service. I will send more information once I receive it.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
Mrs. Kronebusch
