Room 15, Ms. Brooke K.

This week was all about the letter K!!!  We had a blast learning how to write it, discussing the sound it makes, and it is a vowel or consonant.  The children made Ks that kicked and keyboards with the letter of their name colored in.  We talked a lot about Advent.  Father Tom came over on Monday, and he talked about the season of Advent.  The Tuesday/ Thursday class had a religion lesson with Father Tom and he discussed the season of Advent with the students as well.  We made a take home Advent wreath.  If you look on the back, there is a pocket with 3 flames and you and your child can light a candle each week and prepare for Jesus's birthday. 
 

Next week we will...Talk about the letter L We will talk about the letter sound and how to write it.  We will come up with words that start with the letter L.  We will also continue to talk about Advent and the Holy Family.  We will be doing activities with lights, lacing, and lava!!!

Christmas Progame practice has begun.  Please try to be at school by 9.

Holiday Season Attendance- Please take time to complete
With the holiday season approaching, we would like to get an idea of who will be attending in order to adequately staff.  During the week between Christmas and New Year's, Gabby and I combine classes in order to give each other time off with our family. With the lack of subs, this allows us to have time with our family.  This week will not have any structured learning activities, but we are here for those who need childcare.

Christmas Preformance is December 13 at 630
After arriving at the church parents will bring their child to the Mulligan room (back of church) no earlier than 6:00PM and no later than 6:15PM. Parents please make sure your child’s teacher knows you have delivered your child before returning to your seat. Classes will perform one at a time, each class will come in down the middle aisle, perform and then return to the Mulligan room where they will wait to join all the classes for the final performance. The first two to three pews on either side of the main aisle will be reserved seating. As each class performs two family members ONLY for each child will be invited to the reserve seating to watch their child’s performance. After the performance they will return to their original seating. Regardless of the order of the classes nobody will be allowed in the reserved seating before the program begins. Children will be dismissed by class from the altar to their families after the final performance. Children’s programs are always such memorable events, however we do ask all of our families to show reverence and respect for our worship space. Children should dress in church attire (no glitter dresses please). We are looking forward to a couple of wonderful evenings
