Week 16: Midquarter and Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.   I am so thankful for each one of your children in my class this year. What a blessing they are to me!  Thank you, parents, as well, for the support you give to your children and to me. I hope you are able to enjoy this holiday week with family and friends!  

 

Midquarter

 

Monday marked the midpoint of 2nd quarter.  It is a good time to talk with your child about the Friday papers that came home, check grades on Sycamore, and help them set goals for the 2nd half.  A great goal?  READ over the break!  Get those AR points before the last week of December!!!  And your kids are not too old to read with you.  You can model fluency and have great conversations over books.  Traveling?  Listen to audio books in the car.

 

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have about your child's progress.  

 

 

ADVENT IS HERE !

5/6 ADVENT WORSHIP:  WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4 

 

The songs are learned, the dramas are getting polished, and practices are winding down; preparations are nearly complete for our Advent Services on Wednesday.   It is time now for families to join in the preparation! The Advent season prepares us for the coming of Christ.  Please plan to join us for one of the services to hear the message of how God works in our hearts to prepare us for his coming.  Details about our worship services are below.  Blessings to your families this Advent season!
