SAVE THE DATE - CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
Friday, December 20, 2019
9:30 am Deacon Hall

We began rehearsing for our pageant today.  If your child is a shepherd, a note was sent home today so please check your child's folder to see if he received one.  I will put a sign up sheet on the cubbies this Wednesday for anyone who would like to send in an item for our clebration afterwards (plates, napkins, cookies etc.).  Thank you in advance.

I am looking forward to meeting with all of you this Wednesday or Friday to discuss your child's adjustment and progress in preschool this fall.  Conferences are 15 minutes long with 5 minutes in between scheduled times.  If you have forgotten your conference time, please let me know.

An Advent Calendar coloring page was sent home today so please look for it in your child's folder.  Each day, there is a box for them to color on the calendar.  There will be a few more leaflets sent home over the next couple of weeks that talk about Advent and our time of "waiting" for Baby Jesus' birth.

The 4th unit in the Happily Ever After Reading Series is The Elves and the Shoemaker.  The children will learn about the letters Gg and Hh, work with the color green and learn about circles, parts of a whole and the concepts top, middle and bottom.  The children will also learn to compare and contrast pictures and they will practice looking for details in the print (pictures) found on the pages.  The activity pages and storybooks will be sent home before Christmas vacation.  

Our focus in math this month will be on shapes and the concepts of top, middle and bottom.  There will be some fun activities and crafts to go along with these concepts this month.  

Thank you all for your continued support at home.  This promises to be a very busy, yet exciting month in preschool.  Merry Christmas!!!
