DECEMBER 3-DECEMBER 7

Thank you to all the parents that helped with the Native American Pow Wow and The Nutcracker. The children were really enthusiastic and enjoyed it all.

The students in Mrs. Mills' class will be bringing home an atlas. Please look at pp. 14-17. We are working on map skills. Mrs. Mills would like her students to know directions using the terms north, south, east and west. When looking at a map always locate the compass rose which indicates north, south, east, and west. A good exercise with the map of the United States is to have your child put their finger on a state and then ask them what state is north of it, or east of it. This is an easy way to see if they understand the direction. The atlas will go home a couple of nights. Thank you for your help.

Thursday morning the first graders will be presenting the morning prayer. You are invited to attend. It will start at 8:00.
