Dear Parents,
I sincerely appreciate all of the pajamas that you have sent into the classroom for our wrapping. I have never done something like this before, but for me it has been heart warming. Thank you for your generosity.
This week is going to be chaotic, but somehow we will squeeze in some lessons. We will be reading Ginger by Charlotte Voake. We will also be working with the letter ‘I’. There will be no new sight words to add to the collection, but please keep going through the words over Christmas. It will help your child very much after we return from the break. In math, we will be working with dimes and counting by tens. During our circle time, we will be busy with Christmas projects. Our Bible lessons will be “The Good Samaritan” and “The Servant Who Did Not Forgive.” From these lessons we will learn how important it is to love our neighbor.
On Saturday, December 20, we will have a dress rehearsal for the Christmas program. Your child is supposed to participate in this rehearsal. We will start at 9:00 am and finish at 11:30 am. Please bring your child to church for this rehearsal. That evening we will have our Christmas program which will start at 5:30 pm. All of the children are to be here for this program. Please have your child come to the classroom by 5:00 pm. We will be going in as a class so you will want to find a seat in the church. Please have your child dress appropriately for this important program. I must correct something from my previous notes. We will sing and sit together throughout the 5:30 program. The children are also expected to sing at the beginning of the 7:00 program. After that, they may be dismissed. However, if you want them to sit through the 7:00 program, that is fine. Please let me know what your pleasure is so that I can plan accordingly. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
On Thursday, December 18, we will have our Christmas party at 1:30 pm. If you have time, please stop by for this fun afternoon. The children get very excited about the party and would enjoy it if you came to be a part of it. Those who signed up for the party, this is when you should bring your treats. Thank you for your help.
Our Christmas vacation will start after the Christmas program. School will resume on January 5. Have a blessed vacation. I will miss your children, but I hope that you have a nice time together.

December 8 K2 Kindergarten Note
December 8, 2008
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!

December 1 K2 Kindergarten Note
December 1, 2008
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!
