Dear Parents,

It is getting to the busy time of the year and several things are coming up soon, but first a reminder: we do go outside if it is above 32 degrees so please send jacket or coat, hats, and gloves to school with your child. With Missouri weather you never know, so it is a good idea to at least keep a jacket in your child's book bag. It is also a good idea to put names on these items. The school will be doing Spirit Week the Week of Thanksgiving: Monday is Mixed up Monday-wear backwards or unmatched outfits; Tuesday is School Spirit- wear blue and gold; and Wednesday is PJ Day for the Pre-K.

The Preschool Class will be performing in the Christmas Program on December 4^th. They will perform a song in their Sunday best at beginning of program, then they will go back to the classroom to get ready for the Nativity Scene at the end of program.

If you have not had a chance yet please send in your disguised Turkey so we can display for all to see. It is always fun for the children to see the different disguises.

Our field trip is coming up quickly and we will be praying that the weather cooperates with us. Their will be an attached letter with the schedule and form for you to fill out with what your child would like to eat at McDonalds. I'm going to send the form home with the Driver spot blank, you will need to put the name of who will be driving your child that day. We will be going with Kindergarten, so if you want to car pool with another family that is fine , just make sure you put the name of the person that will be driving that day on the form. Example: If Jack and his mom are riding with Sally and her Mom, Jack's paper will need to have Sally's Moms name on the form.

Last week in school we learned all about the Letter “K”: especially Kangaroos, Koala, and Kittens; they learned the “Rudy Rectangle Song” and all about Rectangles with Stoybots; we learned the Skeleton Song, read about Skeletons, and made a model of a Skeleton; they also learned about the Saints and Angels.

This week we will be working on “T is for Turkey” and “T is for Turtle”. Our Prayer Pals will be coming down to make a Turkey and Thanksgiving Place Mat, then they will enjoy a game of Duck, Duck, Turkey. We will be doing a lot of Turkey and Turtle Math, Craft, Songs, and Stories. We will be working on counting forward and backwards, patterns, and colors. In Religion we will be learning how all things come from God and that there are different kinds of Prayers, besides petitions, there is Prayers of Praise and Prayers of Thanksgiving. I will be gone to a Conference on Thursday and Brittney will be subbing in the classroom.

Please don't forget about Reading Counts and as always if you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at anytime.

God Bless!

Miss Marie
