Dear Parents,

Happy Sunday!  Thank you to all that were able to come to our Advent service on Wednesday night!  The kids did a great job; they spoke loudly (into the microphone), and clearly and conveyed our message well.  The other day we learned about Jonah and how he was a missionary.  We talked about WHAT a missionary does and WHERE a missionary goes.  We talked about we don’t have to leave the country, or the state, or even our city to be a missionary!  God can use us right here, right now!  On Wednesday night, WE were missionaries. 

For our prayer-partner activity on Wednesday, we had our all-school “Happy Birthday, Jesus” party. The kids were treated to some singing, Mrs. Feinauer read a book to everyone, and then were split into age leveled groups to do various activities!  FUN!  

Our field trip is tomorrow!  Please remember that we need to leave by 12:30, so please be here by 12:20ish, in order that we can leave on time.  If you signed up to drive, I am counting on you to drive!  Thank you!  If Mrs. Jore contacted about insurance or anything else, please stop by the office to update your information. If you are NOT driving, please don’t forget to send in your kiddo’s car seat.  The weather for tomorrow isn’t supposed to be too bad, so the kids won’t need to wear their snow pants.  They will need their boots and the rest of their snow gear since some of our field trip is outside. 

 Our book exchange is this Friday (so is our Christmas party!)!  Please send in the book that your firstie has picked out and make sure it is wrapped (if you choose to put it in a gift bag, that is fine, but it should have tissue paper in it to cover up the book).  Thank you!

There is no memory for this week but there still is spelling.  Please make sure that your kiddo is prepared for the practice test on Wednesday and the regular test on Friday.  

Playing "Memory" with our spelling words

Has your kiddo told you about our morning checklist?  Each morning now, the firsties have a checklist on their desk that should be completed BEFORE school begins at 8:00am.  On the list are the items that are a part of our morning routine; sharpen pencils, turn in homework, etc…  Thank you for having your kiddo to school with plenty of time to get ready for their day. 

See some of you tomorrow! Blessings on the rest of your evening!
