The Nativity
On December 14th, our elementary students came dressed as the nativity scene. They had the chance to come dressed as the stories they heard that day. Students had a great time reading and illustrating the Christmas story.
We are thankful
November was a month in which kindergarten focused a lot on Thankfulness. Through our bible lessons, prayer times, and praise time, students articulated different things we could be thankful for, and different ways we could express our thanks. In our morning prayer and praise time students were able to pick out songs to sing that displayed thankfulness to God. Before our thanksgiving break KV celebrated in class with a thanksgiving feast. During our celebration we went around the room and expressed to each other what we were thankful for. A special thanks to all parents who donated a yummy dish or party supplies!

Give Thanks
Finally, on Tuesday November 23 we had our thanksgiving feast. Everyone brought in different dishes and desserts. We all gave thanks for all the different things that God has blessed us with, and then enjoyed a delicious thanksgiving feast.

Harvest Fun
On Tuesday November 16, we had our harvest fair. The kids had a blast playing all the different games and getting their face painted.

Spirit Week
The month of November was a busy and fun month. On the third week of November, we had our annual spirit week. Our kindergarten class had fun getting dressed up as pilgrims and Native Americans, as well as their favorite book characters. Even though, their favorite was pajama day, where everyone was nice and cozy with their PJs and slippers.

Know Christ
We are currently practicing our songs for the Christmas Program! Students are excited and some looking forward to singing a solo while others are looking forward to singing nice and loud within their class groups. It will be a fun time and a time of reflection pointing to what this holiday season is all about, and how it is displayed through the words they are singing. As someone once said,
No Christ, No Christmas! Know Christ, Know Christmas!

November Happenings
Wow! What a November we’ve had in the Reading Lab!
Literacy day was a great success. We did projects and read books about Thanksgiving. We also talked about all of the things that God has blessed us with this year. We have A LOT to be thankful for! The puzzle contests were so much fun, and we had some crazy harvest prizes… corn, turnips, parsnips, and carrots!

Trip to the Farm
Picking up chickens, milking a cow & riding on the hay are just a few of the fun expeiences kindergarten had on their first field trip of the year. Watching children that grew up in the city experiencing farm life was at times comical. They didn’t know quite how to handle llams eating out of their hands. They had a great time and got to take a pumpkin home with them at the end. I must say they were worn out because the ride home was quiet compared to the singing of “Wheels on the Bus” on the way to the farm.

Stuffed Animal Day
“Where the Wild Things Are,” & “Corduroy,” are just a couple of the books students got to hear at our first Literacy Day this year. Literacy day is a day to show students how much fun reading is. At our first literacy day, students brought in their favorite stuffed animal and cuddled up with it in our new library as they heard fun and exciting stories. We are looking forward to next month, “Fall Fun,” as students hear adventurous stories about the change of season.

Our Heritage
We just had our international week. We learned about each others heritage and tasted food we had never tasted before. This was a fun time for all of us. Kindergarten has been an adventure for all of us, and I know that this journey will be full of fun and excitement.
