Hello,
The last full week of school for November is upon us. Blessings as you look ahead to Thanksgiving next week and the food, fun, and family it entails as we ponder our blessings.
Here are some tidbits for the week:
SINGING: Many enjoyed Hold Me Savior last Sunday. It tied in wonderfully with Saints Truimphant Sunday. We sing again December 15 for the 10 am Advent Song service. 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 $223.95. That brings us to roughly 45% of our goal. Thank you.
SHOW & TELL: Our classroom voted to have a show and tell day. This day will be Tuesday, November 26.
SPELLING TESTS: Each child will receive a spelling list through the weekly folder. Your child will also have a homework folder copy. Please be sure they keep that one with their homework folder since we use it at school. Thanks.This week’s test will be on Friday. Please study each night.
STATE DRESS UP and FOOD TASTING: For some extra classroom fun, we are planning to have a dress up day on December 6. Students dress up according to their states. For example, Texas dress could be that of rancher, cowboy, or with Mexican influence. Also, a food item from that state can be brought in on that day as well. (The food would only be shared with our class. Plan on 17 small tastes.) Thank you. This will be a fun way to end our regions units before we take a deeper dive into Wisconsin.
FOOD DRIVE: The food drive continues this week. Any non-perishable items are accepted this week. Thanks for all the cereal last week. It has been neat to see the lower level collection boxes fill up and stack up. Let’s bless others in need.
ART ON THE TOWN: On this Wednesday, November 20, we will be walking to Art on the Town to have fun creating a painting. The plan is to be there by 1 and return to school by 3:00 pm. Funds for this are already in place.
HARMONICA: Harmonicas were sent home Friday. A paper with helpful hints to play The Barney Song was also given to your child and should be in his/her homework folder. Your child is to practice at home during the week and return the harmonica and paper next Friday for class.
STUDENT COUNCIL: Student council meets this coming Tuesday, November 19, after school until 4:00 pm.
WET WIPES: Please ask your child if he or she is in need of wet wipes. The wipes are stored at your kiddo’s desk, so he or she would (should) know. Thanks.
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 5 baptism birthdays as of this typing.. Thank you!)
