The week before Thanksgiving was a busy and exciting week. We practiced for our upcoming Christmas Play, spent time with senior “giants,” met our new 5th grade buddies, attended chapel, and used the school’s new iTouch devices to practice skills. Finally, on Friday the K4 students prepared our hearts for Thanksgiving by singing some great songs for us in the commons area. On top of all of that excitement, we were able to praise God for keeping us all safe from the tornadoes on Wednesday. We had a lot of fun, safe and sound in the clubhouse (our safe place). This time of year is busy schedule-wise, but for our students it is also busy academically! The students have learned so much over the last few months and I am thrilled to see the progress they have made. Below you will see a peek at our plans for this week. Language Arts Skills:
Handwriting Skills: Letter formation and number writing spacing between words "one finger space" Math: Teen Numbers Odd and Even Numbers, Counting to 100, Counting Groups of 10, Patterns on a 100s Chart, Skip Counting by 2 and 5 Social Science: Christmas/Christmas Play Practice (Please help your child practice their part.) They are doing amazing job! Bible - We will be focusing on Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas. What a privilege it is to learn about and spend time reflecting on our Lord and Savior! |

KINDERGARTEN GIVES BACK THROUGH OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
We are very excited to tell you about our class service project. We will be participating in the Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Ministry. Since many of you already participate in this ministry through your church, our goal is to put together two boxes (one boy and one girl) as a class. Please send an appropriate item for the boxes by Wednesday, November 16th. The packed boxes will be sent out Thursday, November 17th. If you do not participate through your church and would like to put a box together as a family, please let me know and I will send you the box. Thank you so much for your help with this very special project. What a blessing to be Gods hands and feet!

I THINK I CAN READ A"BAGILLION" BOOKS!
"Thumbs Up", "A Round of Applause" and a "Few Fireworks" to my friends and their "Bag of Books" that came home Friday. These books are theirs to keep at home. I encourage you to make your own book boxes to store these books in. These are books that they can read to you! I am so proud of them!! We decided that we could have a "bagillion" books by the end of the year. Our new books will come home in our ziploc bags. Remember to return these so that we can begin filling our book boxes back up.
The children are excited about our trip to the Pumpkin Patch next Tuesday. Parents who are leaving from the school need to be there no later than 8:00 AM. We will leave shortly after 8:00 o'clock. Parents who are not coming to the school will need to meet our group at Dreamfield Farms at 8:45 AM.
Report cards came home with your child Thursday, Oct. 13th. We will discuss the report card at your parent conference on Oct. 28th.
