I hope everyone enjoyed this weekend with family and friends. We, as a class, are going to do simple or small service projects. I want the girls to see that even though they are little they can still make a difference. Last week we dusted the pews at Church and straightened the missalettes and song books. This week we will finish our Thank you cards for the Trunk-or-Treat donators. We are going to spend the rest of December making Christmas cards for Extended Care and Medco.
Our December theme will be “Let’s Give!” The #6, star, and red will be our number, shape, and color. We will discuss opposites, open and shut. We are going to be working on the letter Ll this week. Our Saints of the week are St. Anne and Joachim and our scripture is “Let your light shine before others.” Mathew 5:16. We will be reading The Grouchy Ladybug.
***CHRISTMAS PARTY - as I mentioned earlier we will not be exchanging gifts this year. Instead we will be donating gently used or new toys to the Good Samaritan center. Please have your child bring in their unused toy by Thursday, Dec. 12th unwrapped, so we will have plenty of time to get them to the center. I hope the children will enjoy giving to those that are not as blessed as we are. We will be giving the children a gift on our last day during our party. We will also be providing lunch from McDonalds as a treat for their generosity. Next week we will be sending home a menu for them to circle what they would like to eat. Please return them after we send them home. We would like all children to be able to attend on this day. We will have Mass that morning at 9:00 followed by lunch. We will be in the Parish Hall. We will give them our gift and maybe have time for a game before our Christmas Program.
***CHRISTMAS PLAY – our program will be on Thurs., Dec. 19 at 12:15 in the church. It will last approx. 30 min. I hope everyone will be able to attend. As always everyone is welcome to come and watch!! After the program we will go back to our room for our snack with Christmas goodies then settle down to rest!!
***NO SCHOOL Dec. 20 – Jan. 3. We will return on Monday, Jan. 6.
