Terrific T-Th Gang

Magnificent M-W-F Kids

Gosh, they are cute! I thought it was time for some class pictures. Hope you like them. (You all know how challenging it can be to get 3's and 4's to be in sync for a picture but I think we did very well.)

This week we have school for two days. I am sure that it will be very lively as the excitement is building all the time. We will basically be continuing the same things as last week and our theme is still Advent/Christmas. We will have a party on Monday with our 6th grade buddies at 9:30 am. On Tuesday we will have a party in our classroom at 1:30. Parents are welcome to come to the Tuesday party.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing your children with me! They are precious gifts.

Week of 12/12 - 12/15/11

Our theme this week is Advent/Christmas. We will make gifts for our parents and a class Christmas tree, sort red and green items in green sand, decorate for Christmas, pretend to build toys in a workshop, review our letters, learn about the shepherd's visit to baby Jesus, learn about the legend of the candy cane, and sing Christmas songs.

We are still collecting cranberry sauce through Dec. 14. Thank you for your generosity!

This year we will have two Christmas parties. On Monday, December 19, we will have a party with our 6th grade buddies where we will make sugar cone Christmas trees and have fellowship and play time together. On Tuesday, December 20, we will have a party at 1:30 pm. We will make a small craft and a special Christmas treat to eat. Parents are welcome to come to the Tuesday party, however, the Monday party will be too crowded for extra guests as we will have a large group of 6th graders in our room with us. I hope that this will help every preschooler to feel included, regardless of which days you attend school. In the past we have had only one party and sometimes it was hard for parents to get their children to school when it was not their regular day to come. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Week of 12/5 - 12/9/11

Our theme this week is Castles and Fairy Tales. We will make castle paintings, experiment with the gear set, search for the queen's jewels in sand, have tea in our pretend castle, listen to some classic fairy tale stories, learn about the letter Q, and learn that Jesus was the most special baby ever born.

SPX is collecting food for the Christian Ministers Alliance. Preschoolers are asked to donate cranberry sauce.

Welcome to our new student, Gabrielle! She will be coming on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
