I hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that you have enjoyed the time off. When we come back we will be very busy practicing for the Christmas Program. I am hoping that your child has tried to memorize the songs as we start rehearsing on Monday at 8:30. Your child should have brought home 2 song sheets to be memorized. They will not be having the sheets in front of them the night of the performance.
A REMINDER: The song sheets needs to be brought back on Monday, November 26. Thank you.
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 4 weeks left before the end of the second quarter, and they should be putting forth their best effort. I am very concerned about the homework that goes home. Some is not returned. Parents should always check homework assignments and read the directions to your child. Some papers are being returned incomplete.
Advent begins on Sunday, December 2. 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 season in our Religion class.
Curriculum remains the same. In Language Arts we are in Level 3 and will be finishing it up in 2 weeks. We will start working on the short e sound. In Science we will be learning about 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 P.E. we will continue with jump ropes.
Thank you to all the moms and grandmothers who helped out with the Indian Pow Wow. It was a great success and the children loved it. Thank you to the moms who sent in food or drink for the Pow Wow or the Thanksgiving Feast with Kindergarten. It was greatly appreciated.
Friday, November 30, is Spirit Free Dress. Your child must wear an OLM t-shirt or sweatshirt.
