I am hoping to see lots of you at the Christmas Parade Saturday afternoon. Our float depicts the true meaning of Christmas. The OLM Lancer Band will also be performing.
Thank you to all that drove to The Nutcracker. The children really seemed to enjoy it. It was also fun to see 2 of their classmates perform. Our display of nutcrackers was awesome. We must have had about 15 different nutcrackers brought in. The children really enjoyed looking at all of them. Thank you for sharing them with the first grade.
We are very busy preparing for the Christmas Program. I hope your child is really working on learning the words. On Monday we will start practicing without the song sheets. Some of the children already have the words memorized. Please encourage your child to sing. This will be a big part of their music grade. Some children are not singing at all even with the words in front of them. Thank you for your support.
On Thursday, December 8, there will be an all school Mass. It begins at 8:15. We will be celebrating the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
On Tuesday, December 13, my first grade will be presenting the morning prayer for Advent. All of the children are involved. You are welcome to attend. It will begin at 8:00.
Thank you to those of you that have turned in sugar, salt or flour for the "Spirit of Christmas"
Because this is the Christmas season and the season of giving I would like students to bring in items for the D Street Shelter. Please turn items in by Thursday, December 15. Please be generous. Some suggestions: the dollar store has knitted caps, scarves, mittens, socks, small packages of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, lip balm, soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair brushes, combs, shampoo etc. These are just some thoughts. Thank you.
Curriculum remains the same. We will be finishing up Level 3 in Reading this week. We will then move into a hardback reader with many stories. Continue to work on vocabulary.
