Ss is for Silly Socks!!

We wrapped up our study of letter Ss Friday by wearing silly socks to school.  I loved all of their socks!!  They were so excited to work with their shoes off for the day!  :)

Chapel

Jake was our offering helper for chapel this past Thursday.  He was very excited!  This was our last chapel until after the New Year.  We learned about the true meaning of Christmas. 

MIRACLE = JESUS!!

Book Fair is December 7th through 11th

The Book Fair is this week.  This year's theme is Monster Mash and our school's goal is to sell 1,001 books!  The students were able to make their book wish list this past Friday with the help from some of our 6th and 7th graders.  The wish lists were sent home in your child's binder on Friday.  We will be collecting coins this week.  Here is the schedule:

Monday- pennies

Tuesday- nickels

Wednesday- dimes

Thursday- quarters

Friday- ANY coin

The coin collection is optional.  The money that is sent in will help buy books for our classroom!  Book Fair Family Night is Thursday, December 10th from 3-7pm.  This is a great time for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other special friends to come visit the Book Fair and the school.  Books make great Christmas gifts!!  There will be games, prizes, and a photo op with a "friendly monster".  

Hat Day!

H is for Hat!  The students looked so cute in their hats Friday.  They really enjoyed wearing them at school.

Chapel

Last Thursday in chapel, Wyatt was our offering helper.  He enjoyed being the helper!  We talked about Thanksgiving during chapel and sang Don't be a Turkey, which is one of the songs the kids LOVE to sing.  Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! 

Thanksgiving Pow Wow & Feast

Wednesday was super busy and SUPER FUN!  Our PreK Pow Wow started in the gym at 10:30.  The PreK 4 classes were "Indians" and the PreK 3 classes were "Pilgrims".  We kicked off the program with a song called Give Thanks.  It was beautiful!  Next, all of the classes sang and danced to a song called The Little Red Fox.  The program ended with all of the classes reciting a Bible verse and a singing a song called Don't be a Turkey.  After the Pow Wow, we went back to our classroom to enjoy our mini Thanksgiving Feast.  Thank you for sending in the yummy foods for them to eat!  Chicken nuggets, popcorn chicken, apples, grapes, cookies, carrots, dip, mini cornbread muffins, string cheese, and Capri Suns made for a kid-approved feast for sure!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9....10

This week we are learning the number 10.  We made necklaces at my table during center time today that we will wear Wednesday for our Pow Wow.  Each student counted out 10 pieces of colored pasta to string on his or her necklace.  They also got to choose an Indian name.  They were so excited!!  :)

"Nn" is for Nest!

This week we have been talking about the letter "Nn" and the sound that it makes.  On Tuesday, we read a story called "The Best Nest".  We went outside to collect twigs, leaves, pieces of grass, acorns, and small pieces of mulch so that we could make our own "best" nest for the letter "Nn".  The students really enjoyed this art project!  Their nests turned out so cute!
