Dear Parents,
THIS WEEK WE: talked about how thankful we are for our mom and dad, brothers, sisters, grandparents and the USA. Of course, we wrote a book. It is titled,
“I Am Thankful”.
NEXT WEEK WE WILL: continue our theme. I will begin testing soon for 2nd quarter goals. Please work with your child on letter recognition and sounds. Most know all the letters and have just a few letter sounds to master. It is all going to come together very soon. Also work with first and last name and recognizing numbers to 31
FEAST: Thank you for signing up to send an item for our Thanksgiving feast. It will be Nov. 24th at 1:05 in the afternoon. If you volunteered to help set up and serve, please be here at12:45p.m. We will dress the part of the first thanksgiving and I am sure it will be a bountiful feast.
Thanks in advance for your help! (definitely a picture taking moment!)

SERVICE PROJECT: We are planning a community service project for our class instead of making gingerbread houses this year. I have contacted an Assisted Living Center and they are thrilled that we are considering making a treat for some of their residents and delivering it to them. My thought is to make a simple craft project, fill it with peppermint candy and take it to the residents. We will make the project at school and then meet on a Saturday morning to deliver our treat to the residents. Maybe we could sing a song as we deliver them. The complete details are not yet worked out. We will need some help with funds. Mrs. Sutherland has given me the go ahead to ask for a $2.00 donation from each student for the supplies. I will take care of purchasing everything. The other thing needed is parent help to get it put together. The making of our service project craft will be on Dec. 4th at 1:05-2:00p.m. I would invite any that can come and help us out to be here at that time. Please understand that our class is doing this en lieu of making the gingerbread houses that Kindergarten has done the last few years. It will be a great project to stress doing something kind for others this holiday season. In the meantime, I would ask that you send $2.00 to school with your child next week and I will get all the necessary supplies. Also mark your calendar for Saturday, Dec. 12th. We will meet at the Christian Health Care Center, 1104 North Main here in Nixa at 9:50a.m. to deliver our gift. This is also the date of Breakfast with Santa at Mathews Elementary. My hope is that you will consider taking in both of these opportunities! Thank you in advance for all the help and support!
