     Friday- Christmas Program

*On Friday we still need students to school by 8:30 at the latest!* Friday is a half-day, though students may leave after the program. For extra care after school please speak to Brooke Warner at the daycare.

                                                                

-Thursday we will be having our Christmas Party. We are decorating cookies and will need some donations of sugar cookies, frosting, sprinkles, and different candies. Please bring by Wednesday, so we can pick any extra supplies up before the party. In the afternoon we will be watching The Polar Express, while eating popcorn and drinking hot coco=)



No homework next week!

Highlight of this week was definitely the students field trip to Hampton Senior Center. Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Warner said it was so precious how the students went up and held their hands and sat next to them. We have some pretty amazing kiddos!

Here students are practicing for the program next week. They are doing great.

In Bible we have been counting down to Christmas by learning Bible stories leading up to Jesus's  birth. I am proud at how well they memorize the Stories!

This week in our Christmas around the world unit we learned about Italy and Sweden. They were so confused about why an old lady named Le Befana on a broom stick would deliver presents lol...

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! I look forward to another great week next week!

Thanks for being such wonderful parents! ;)

Dear Parents,

We have had a busy, yet educational week in Kindergarten. With the sounds and scents of Christmas in the air, we are studying about Christmas traditions around the world.  We have "traveled" to Mexico and the Netherlands.  We are learning a new Bible story each day using our Advent calendar.  We are counting down to Christmas and Jesus' birth.  In addition we are learning our songs and sign language for our Christmas play on Friday, December 18th at 9:30am.

There are many reminders this week. I have listed them below:

Next Wednesday, December 9th at 8:45am we will be going on a short field trip to the Hampton Senior Center in Vancouver.  I have enclosed a permission slip in everyone's OWL folder, but please see Mrs. Lee or Mrs. Palmer if you still need one.  We will be singing songs and reading some Christmas books together. This is a wonderful experience for both the kids and the seniors who live there!

Spirit Week is December 14-17

Mon. Christmas Socks

Tues. Red and Green day

Wed.  Christmas Pajama Day

Thurs. Crazy Christmas Day

Thursday, December 18 is our class Christmas Party.  More details will be coming soon! :)

Friday, December 19th is our Christmas Play at 9:30am and then dismissal at noon.  You are welcome to take your child home after the program in the morning or they may stay until noon.

Please read through the following verses with your child.  The school will be reading it for our Christmas program together.

Luke 2:8-14:

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
