Week of 11/16/09 - 11/20/09

Theme: Thanksgiving

This week we will pretend to live like Native Americans in Dramatic Play, living in a tepee and harvesting vegetables. We will make hand print turkeys in Art. We will play with a Thomas the Train set in Blocks. We will examine different types of feathers with a magnifying glass. We will string beads to make necklaces. We will learn all about the Letter U. We will discover that we give thanks to God for all of his blessings in religion. We will read lots of Thanksgiving books and do many holiday-related activities.

Thursday, Nov. 19 - Bedlam Dress Day (also, you may send Box Tops to vote for your favorite team.)

Nov. 23 - Nov. 27 - No School - Thanksgiving Break!

A huge THANK YOU to all of you for the very generous gift cards for my birthday! I've already bought some books for the classroom and I can't wait to eat dinner at P.F. Chang's! Thank you so much. Also, the party on my birthday was wonderful. I just loved the cards that the kids made, the banner, and, of course, the cupcakes!

The recycling club is collecting aluminum cans, now through Dec. 4. The class with the most cans wins a Free Dress Day.

The auction committee is sponsoring Money for Monuments. If you would like to donate any spare change for this, there is a jar in our classroom. Our monument is a pagoda (I think) from Vietnam. There is a picture of this hanging under the crucifix. The class with the most money wins a Free Dress Day. All proceeds go towards the auction.

Bryce and the amazing Chloe!
