Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
"Mary's appearance to Juan Diego is evidence of her special care for those in need."
Father Dan will visit our class for a special Advent Service. We'll light our third candle and continue to "get caught doing good". I hope your child is coloring in hearts at home.
This week we'll celebrate the Feast of St. Lucia. The oldest girl in the class, as is tradition in Sweden, will carry the tray of cinnamon buns to serve her classmates.
We'll read several versions of the Gingerbread Man and hope that he won't run away when we bake a batch. We're looking forward to decorating Gingerbread Houses later in the week. Have you sent in all the requested supplies?
We will continue to focus on short and medial /i/, opposites for adjectives, sequencing, High Frequency words he and for, and the -ip Word Family: dip - hip - lip - nip - rip - sip - tip.
We'll count candy canes and identify and sort solid shapes.
We'll write to Santa in our journals asking for something for ourselves.
Homework: Shape activity sheet (in your child's folder)
The Christmas Concert is Wednesday. Remember: holiday best. Bring your child to the classroom no later then 6:15. You must pick up your child in the classroom afterwards. No one will be dismissed from the gym. Gym will be on Tuesday, not Wednesday this week.
Everyone is looking forward to the Jingle Bell Jog. Pledge sheets will be sent home and need to be returned. We're hoping for 100% participation from the K kids. It is a free dress day for those who will be doing laps around the gym. Sneakers for sure. All the money raised goes directly to the missions. Thank you for your support.
If you've volunteered to help with the Gingerbread Houses on Friday, please come to the classroom at 9 am. Plan on an hour. If you're going to help wrap, stop by the room at 2:30. Everything will be ready for you. Thank you!
Have you signed up for the Christmas Caroling on Friday? Your child will love it! So will you.
Enjoy the week ahead.
