Hi Families,

The house building last week was a favorite for everyone. The kids wrote some stories about their houses after painting them. They are excited to share them and take them home this week. Also a fun activity that we did last week was “Going on a bear hunt”, it’s a chant that takes us on an imaginary trip to find a bear. We also did an art project that went along with the chant. This week we are going to talk about the idea of “being Thankful” what it means,what kinds of things we have that we love or are important to us. Our school does a food drive each year before the holidays and we will be talking about this in the Busy Bee class and kids can bring donations and put them in the box in our classroom.We have some fun turkey themed art to do this week as well.

The November Family fun night is this week on Friday from 5:30-7:00. We will be hosting a “Make and take” craft night. With help from parents, kids will be able to do several holiday crafts, decorate a cookie and take a break with some holiday books. This is a time to be together and get a jump start on the holidays with some quality family time. Hope to see everyone there!

The Bake sale will be next week on Mon/Tues during school hours. We will be taking donations of baked goods both days. If you are more of a buyer of baked goods please come by and pick up some yummy treats for your family’s Thanksgiving celebration. Thanks for your support.

Mark your Calendars for the evening of December 11th at 6:00 pm as we present our winter concert to families. The Busy Bee Class will be joining with the Dragonfly and Sunshine classes on this night. We’ll be singing winter/holiday songs for your enjoyment and then afterward the scholastic book fair will be open for book buying. This is a fun night so be sure and plan to come.

Also in December is our “Santa Breakfast” which will be on Saturday the 7th. from 8:00-10:00 am. Tickets for that event will go on sale this week. Tickets will be $5 for a visit with Santa and a breakfast of pancakes,sausage,eggs and fruit. Everyone is invited, so tell friends and family. There will be no ticket sales at the door, so your going to have to plan ahead. 

Thank you for your support and the chance to be part of your kids school 

experience. This is one of my "Thankful" things, being able to do what I do here 

at Little Acorn.
