Hello,
We had a fun day yesterday with the Food and Floats and being able to show them off. Thanks again for all your help with those activities.
Here are some tidbits for the week:
SINGING: We sing next Sunday, December 15, for the 10 am Advent Song service. The children will be sitting together as a choir on that Sunday. Then we sing the following Sunday, December 22, for the Christmas Service.
MISSION: We are now collecting for the World Mission in the UK. Our offering total for this mission is $413.65. That brings us to roughly 83 % of our goal. We have two more offering opportunities for this quarter.
STUDENT COUNCIL: Student council meets Monday, December 9 until 4 pm.
SPELLING TESTS: Tests will be on Friday this week.
HARMONICA: Harmonicas did not come home on Friday, so you don’t need to be looking for one or listening to one. LOL.
POP TOP TABS: My sister’s school is collecting pop top tabs, monster tabs, etc. for a family using the Ronald McDonald House due to a serious injury of their son. If you aren’t collecting these for any other reason, feel free to send them to our room, and I will get them to my sister. Thanks.
BAPTISM BIRTHDAYS: We are adding baptism dates to our birthday chart in our room. Please send a note or text informing me of your child’s baptism day. We will be having a celebration around the time of my baptism birthday. (I have 9 baptism birthdays as of this typing. Thank you!)
CLASS PARTY: On December 20 we’ll have our Christmas party. This year, in the spirit of creativity and fun, I’ve decided to do things a little differently. Instead of our usual gift exchange, I invite you to bring an item or activity the kids could enjoy at various times throughout the rest of the school year. Then you wrap it, and send it with your child with a tag that reads–
To: My class From: (Your child’s name)
At the party, your child will unwrap the classroom gift that will stay for us to enjoy!
Ideas:
a new game such as Jenga, The Fuzzies, Skipbo Card Game, Guess In 10 Card games, Moose Match, Mayhem card game
Ingredients for a pancake breakfast day or a hot cocoa party
A craft for the whole class to complete
Homemade coupon with an activity to be redeemed at a future date –such as an ice cream party
New packs of playdoh
An assortment of non-perishable snacks for a surprise afternoon snack day.
Durable Mini Flashlights for “Read by Flashlight” fun.
Red Plastic Solo Shot Cups (The kiddos love stacking them to make different creations, and we don’t have this size.)
God’s blessings!!
