Our school year is flying by! During the month of November, we devote our class time to emphasizing how important it is to be thankful to God for our many blessings! We are so blessed! In addition, we read about and discuss the Pilgrims and the FIRST Thanksgiving! Please talk to your child at home about being thankful for how God has blessed your family.
Trunk or Treat: We had a wonderful time having Halloween parties and Trunk or Treat! The teachers decorated the “trunks” of their cars and they did an amazing job! Thank you, parents, for all the candies and goodies you sent in for the children. Thank you, teachers, for going above and beyond to make these experiences so memorable!!
History Lessons: Parents of 4yr old and Kindergarten students, our History lessons have been going great! The children have learned about our Constitution. They learned that the Constitution is a set of rules we live by in the United States of America. The children learned about important people who wrote the Constitution. Ask your child what it means to be a good citizen. Ask your child about the Statue of Liberty! In the next few weeks, the children are going to be learning about United States symbols…the U.S.Flag, our national bird (the Bald Eagle), and others. AND, we learn about the Pilgrims and our FIRST Thanksgiving.
Library News: If you would like to honor your child with a book in our library, send a book to your child’s teacher to be placed in our Children’s library. We will put a bookplate in the book honoring your child. We love getting new books! The children love checking them out and taking them home for you to read with them.
Thanksgiving Celebration News…….Each year, we have a Thanksgiving Celebration and Feast for our 4 and 5-year-old children and their families. This year is different because of Covid. However, our 4 and 5-year-old children will be performing a Thanksgiving Celebration on November 19, which will be recorded for viewing by our 4 and 5 yr parents. More information will be forthcoming to our 4 and 5-year-old parents.
Advent Bags: Thank you for your donations to the Advent Bags. This is a special ministry the preschool helps our church with, and we appreciate your generosity. Advent bags will be compiled and distributed to the shut-in members of our church at the beginning of the Advent season. Each day in Advent, the recipient will unwrap a gift in their Advent bag. So the items you have sent in are very special to our older friends.
