The most wonderful time of the year...

Greetings, magnificent K/1 parents! Thank you for checking in for another edition of "The Hive"! I have much to share with you, including what we have been up to and what we will be doing in the coming week.

What we've been up to...

We recently had a science experiment investigating liquids, solids, and gases! The end result was a lot of "dancing" popcorn!

Veronica adds vinegar to the popcorn kernels.

Aiden is not a fan of the smell of vinegar (me either)!

Spirit Week is this coming week! 

Monday: Christmas Socks Day

Tuesday: Red and Green Day

Wednesday: Christmas PJ Day

Thursday: Crazy Christmas Day

Important Dates to Remember:

Tuesday, December 15th, field trip to Hanson Senior Center. Departure: 8:45 am, arrival back will be around 10 am. Please bring booster seats/car seats on this day. Thanks so much!

Thursday, December 17th, Class Party: 10:30 am in Ms. Jones' classroom. We will need some donations for this. If you are able to help, please let me know via email. We need: volunteers, plain sugar cookies, frosting, red hots, m 'n m's, or any other fun things to decorate with. THANK YOU!!! We are showing The Polar Express at 1:15 this day. 



Friday, December 18th, Christmas program at 9:30 am, here at Faith Baptist Church. The students have been practicing for this, and we would love to see you there!!
***Please be sure that your child will be here at the normal school start time of 8:30 this day as it takes time for them to prepare for the big show. (: 



Thursday, December 24th, Christmas Eve Service, at 6:30 pm.

Between play practice, special lessons, and Christmas crafts, this has been an exciting week! While some things have ran right on schedule, other (fun!) things have come up. We will be continuing our studies from last week as we work around all of the holiday activities we have planned! We will have the same sight words and spelling words. We will continue our Jan Brett author study and we have lots of Christmas-themed learning activities planned as well.

Some wonderful things that have been happening lately....

Pastor Cary and Mrs. Warner see what was inside the gift addressed for our Sonshine Kids during chapel. CANDY-CANES!!!

After Chapel on Monday and receiving our candy-canes, we watched a reading of  "The Candymaker's Gift" by Helen and David Haidle. It tells the story of  how the candy-cane can represent the love of Jesus!

I just  have to take a moment and recommend that you check out some of Helen Haidle's work, she has some amazing little gems of Christian books for kids! 

Noah, Dante, Evaleen, and Veronica work hard during Daily 5!

                                           

Play practice in our classroom!

The first "real" play practice on stage!!!
