Dear Parents,



 We hope you all had a restful and wonderful thanksgiving break! This week we will study letter Ll. We will be learning about living and non-living things. We will be using lollipops for some addition activities we are going to be working on in the class.



We would like to thank all the parents for the wonderful Thanksgiving luncheon last Wednesday!! Thank you, thank you!!! This would not have been possible without your help! The Thanksgiving Committee did an outstanding job!!



This week we will start rehearsing for the Song Fest. You will be getting more information later in the week about this important event and what we will need from you to prepare the children for this day. For now, we want to remind you that this celebration will take place on Thursday, December 16th at 6:00 p.m.

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 22-26


Dear Parents,


This is a very short and busy week in our Kindergarten Class. We are going to be doing a lot of activities related to Thanksgiving. We are going to be talking about the meaning of this important celebration. The children are going to be rehearsing a song and at the same time they are going to be the authors and illustrators of a book about things they feel thankful for.

We want to remind you that you are all invited to our Thanksgiving lunch. It is going to take place on Wednesday, November 24th at 11:45 a.m. We understand that your time is valuable and that some of you need to return to your jobs. For this reason, we would like to emphasize that the celebration will start at the time stated above. It would be sad for you to miss your child performing, so please plan accordingly taking into consideration the traffic so that you can be in school right on time to start with the program.

We would like to extend a HUGE Thank you to Mrs. Doris Touchstone and Suselle Mueller for all their time and effort of organizing this celebration. If you have not sent the money of the Thanksgiving Lunch, please do so by tomorrow since we need to cover all the expenses.



Have a nice and a safe holiday!
