Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had fun at the book fair. I want to thank all of you for the lovely books that you got for the classroom. I cannot wait to read them. It was very kind of you to do that for us.
This week is rather short, but we will read the story Cat’s Color’s by Jane Cabrera. We will also work with the letter C. Please add the words ‘like’ and ‘is’ to your stack of sight words. I listened to the first story that the children read last week. I can not tell you how exciting that was for me. They did a fine job. Continue to work with the sight words. It will show later on which children know the words and which ones don’t. Thank you. In math, we will word with the numbers one through nine. We are working on different skills now like time, patterns, and which number is located before or after. These are all thinking skills and they do help later on in the math. During our circle time, we will talk about Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving. I love this unit and I hope your child comes away with the thought that we should take time out to thank our Lord for the many blessings he gives us. Our Bible lessons are “The Death of John the Baptist” and “Jesus Teaches Simon.” From these lessons we will learn Jesus’ enemies reject his Word, but believers respond with love and thanks.
This is a short week. We will not have school on Thursday or Friday. Please enjoy the holiday as a family. After Thanksgiving, the schedules will fill up with Christmas activities so take this time to relax. May all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving!

November 17 K2 Kindergarten Note
November 17, 2008
Dear Parents,
Wow! What a beautiful weekend! I hope that all of you were able to get out and enjoy the weather. We will have plenty of days where it will not be so nice. Even though we have had nice weather, I would like to ask all of you to please send a jacket to school every day. This is the time of year when anything can happen. Thank you.
This week we will be reading the story Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells. Along with this book, we will be working with the vowel A. This is not a difficult letter, but I like to make sure that the children know the sound for it. In math, we will work with the numbers one through nine. We will also be working with the AB and ABB patterns. For our circle time, we will talk about Native Americans and how they lived throughout the United States. I hope that the children appreciate how these people were able to use the gifts that God gave them to survive. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Heals a Captain’s Servant” and “Jesus Answers the Prayer of a Canaanite Woman. From these lessons we will learn that through the gift of faith, believers are able to trust Jesus completely.
As I mentioned last week, if any of you are leaving early to get away for the Thanksgiving, please let me know. I do some special projects and I want to have ample things ready. Also, I will try to get your child caught up on the work that they will miss so that we do not have to worry about make-up work.
This week we are having a book fair. Please come to check out the beautiful art work done by the students and if you are so inclined you may want to purchase some books. The book fair is located in the fellowship hall.
I want to thank all of you for coming in for the parent-teacher consultations. With your help, I am able to design the programs that are appropriate for your child. Thank you for taking the time to come in and talk to me. We will meet again in February to discuss how things are going.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

November 10 K2 Kindergarten Weekly Note
November 10, 2008
Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful and restful weekend. The children and you have worked so hard and it was time for a break. Unfortunately, we will be getting a lot of breaks during the next few weeks. Please watch the notices so that you are aware of all of the changes that will be made.
This week we will be reading the story Follow the Leader by Miela Ford. Along with this book, we will be working with the letter F. I am sending two more words home for you to put with the sight word stack. They are ‘I’ and ‘am.’ Please keep going through these words. The more we practice the better it will be. In math, we are working with the numbers one through eight. As you can see, we are also trying to tell time. This is going quite well. During our circle time, we will talk about patriotism. This is a dear subject to me and I like to explain the significance of the flag, our patriotic symbols and other such things. Our Bible lessons will be “The Young Man from Nain,” “Jesus Teaches Us about Loving Others,” and “Jesus Teaches Us Not to Worry.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus wants us to live, dependent upon him.
I want to thank those of you who have been able to meet with me. I have not met with everyone and I apologize for that. Last week was not very good for me because I switched pain medication. This week I hope and pray things will be better. I do want to meet with all of you. Your thoughts and your concerns are important to me.
There is a note connected with this letter that explains the hot lunch program. Please read it so that you know how to proceed.
We will be breaking for Thanksgiving in two weeks. Please note that we dismiss on Wednesday of that week. I do realize that some of you leave early to spend time with the family. Please let me know in advance if that is the case.
On Sunday, November 16, we will be having a kindergarten open house. If you know of anyone who is interested, please let me or Mr. Luehring know. We will be happy to pass the information along to them.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

November 3 Kindergarten 2 Note
November 3, 2008
Dear Parents,
Thank you for bringing your child to sing yesterday. We did have quite a few absences and I do need written excuses as to why your child was not there to sing. Please get those to me by Wednesday.
This week we will be reading the story Dinner at the Panda Palace by Stephanie Calmenson. Along with the story, we will be working with the letter T. This letter is pretty easy, but we will check to make sure that the children are forming the sound of T correctly. In math, we will continue to work with the numbers one through eight. We will also be working with a matrix and clocks. During our circle time, we will talk about voting and what a privilege it is to be able to cast a vote for what we want. I hope to take the children to the polling place if the workers are okay with us doing so. This also will depend on voter turn out which I expect will be quite heavy. Our only Bible lesson for this week will be “Jairus’ Daughter.” From this lesson, we will see how our Lord Jesus shows that he is the Son of God by healing the girl.
We are trying to return to normal in our classroom. However, I still cannot make an entire day. I went to my surgeon on Friday and he said I am way ahead of schedule as far as the healing goes. But, I tire quickly. I hope that gets better soon. Miss Beutel has been helping me out so much and I feel so blessed to be able to have her here to pick up the loose ends. Hopefully, I will keep up the fast pace of healing and will be 100% soon. I am still trying to meet with all of you parents. If I have not contacted you, I will do so. My desire was to do it much quicker, but my body has not been cooperating. Please be patient. I will meet with you.
This week we will not have school on Thursday or Friday. The teachers will be attending a conference in Anaheim on the days of school that we will miss. There will be childcare on Wednesday afternoon from 11:45 am to 6:00 pm. I hope that will help you out a little.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
