Dear Families,
Thanksgiving Celebration– Our Thanksgiving Blessing afternoon is Monday, November 25th. We will be having a feast, making a “Blessing Mix”, doing a craft and having a Thanksgiving Desesert. All are welcome to attend. The festivities will begin at 11:15 AM. Thank you to all our wonderful parents for helping with this special day of making memories. We will NOT be using parent helpers this week.
Thanksgiving Program – We are culminating our study of pilgrims with a program for our families. First Graders are the Pilgrims and the Kindergartners are the Indians. Second Graders will be the Americans. Second Graders are to wear red, white and blue. If you do not have these clothing items, please do not go out and buy anything. Just wear the closest thing you have. It will be just fine. The program will be on Tuesday, November 26th at 11:00 A.M. at the SMC. Some have asked if they can take their child after the end of the program and that will be fine, if that works best for you.
Math – We took our test on this chapter last Friday. This is a very crucial chapter, laying the foundation for future Math. If your child did not finish, it will be in the envelope on Monday, Nov. 25th. Please finish and return by Friday, Dec. 6th.
Show and Tell – There will be no show and tell this week.
Book – It Program – Book-It for November is due Monday, Dec.2nd. Twelve books will earn a pizza certificate.
Work Envelopes – All of our Thanksgiving theme work will be coming home in the envelopes on Monday, Nov.25th. For some of the students there will be papers that did not get finished, or in some cases not even started. We were doing many varied assignments and there is a vast difference in how quickly some accomplish tasks. These papers do not need to be finished and returned unless it says “Do”.Their unfinished Math Contract is an exception to this.
Together We Can – We will be having a K-12 project that helps those in need during the holidays. This program will run through Dec 6th. Please check the list of items that we are collecting before you go shopping or raid your pantry. We’re calling it “TOGETHER WE CAN!” All of our collections will be benefiting the Pinedale community. Our High School has a “Book Buddy” program with Pinedale already. Please bring your items to our classroom and we will have a big red bucket to put them in. It is a great opportunity for our children to share with those in need!! We are having a contest between the classes as well, so let’s work hard for those in need first and maybe even a prize for us at the end.
Stephen Care Homes – Our class will be going to the Stephen Care Homes to sing for the residents there. We went last year in the Spring and it was a special blessing to them. The date is Wed. Dec. 11th. Before we leave at 8:30 AM we will be having a Belgium Waffle Breakfast. Your child will not need to eat breakfast that morning at home. We should be back to our campus by 11:00 AM and we will be going directly to dress-rehearsal for our Christmas Program that night. Please do NOT plan on taking your child after caroling. Everyone needs to return to People’s Campus. We will be taking carpools. If you are able to help with transportation, there is a sign-up sheet outside our door. All children who are not 8 will need to bring their booster seat for that day.
