 I have Kindergarten working feverishly before the Christmas fever truly sets in and they decide to check themselves out for the holiday!!  Did you like my “play” on words???

Religion-Next week we will be finishing up Old Testament stories about King Solomon and move into the season ADVENT!  It is time to prepare for JESUS!

Reading-Two new letters will be added to our repertoire-Ll as heard at the beginning of lion, lamb and love!  Then Hh as we hear at the beginning of home, heart and hug!  So be watching for that letter homework.  New sight words will be Have, have and You, you! 

Math-We will be learning about the cube shape!  We continue to work on patterns, one to one correspondence with numbers, problem solving, making line segments on our geoboards to make specific shapes (great fun)!  So it is a busy time in math as well!!

Science/Social Studies-Planting more bulbs in the courtyard-want things to look pretty in the spring! We will be doing lots of Christmas activities during this time and also talk about other holidays that take place in December.  It is a very interesting month!

Chapel-We have now collected $166.57 for the Giving Tree.  Can we reach the $225 goal???

I will update you next week how our purchases are going for our foster children.

Chapel Buddies-It is a tradition for K/8^th grade chapel buddies to exchange gifts at Christmas.  Gift cards are a great idea for our buddies.  Do not plan to spend more than $5.00 for this gift!!  Our Christmas gathering is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 21-first thing in the a.m.

Jesus Birthday Party-On Friday, Dec. 21-1:00 p.m.-during this party the classroom children each bring a gift for another child in the room.  I have the boys bring a gift for a boy and the girls each bring a gift for a girl.  These need to be wrapped and simply labeled with a tag that tells who the gift is from-we do not purchase for a specific person.  I have my special system in place for the time when we have the classroom exchange!  Again please do not spend more than $5.00!
