I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and will enjoy the time off. When we come back we will be very busy practicing for the Christmas Program. Your child should have brought home a song sheet with songs that are to be memorized. Hopefully they are working on that as they will not be having sheets in front of them the night of the performance.
Advent begins on Sunday, November 27. Please talk to your child about the season of Advent. It is a time when we prepare for the coming of Jesus. We will be discussing this in our Religion class.
Progress Reports went home on Friday. Please review them and sign and return next week. This is also a good time to remind your children there are only 3 weeks left before the end of the second quarter, and that they should be putting forth their best effort.
Curriculum remains the same. In Language Arts we are in Level 3 and only have one more story before we enter Level 4. We will also be working on the short e sound. In Science we are discussing different kinds of animals. In Social Studies we are finishing up the Native American unit and will be talking about Christmas in other parts of the world. In Math we continue to work on place value and our numbers 1-100. In Religion we will be talking about Advent and Christmas. In P.E. we will start a unit with bean bags.
Plan on driving if you said you could drive to The Nutcracker. Also thank you to all the moms who helped out with the Indian Pow Wow. It was a great success and the children really loved it. Thank you to all the moms who sent in food or drink for the Pow Wow or the Thanksgiving Feast with Kindergarten. It was greatly appreciated.
