Dear Parents,

We have been busy during our shortened week!  On Monday, (and I am sure that you have already seen the remnants of the little project that your firstie created), there were bags of items on your firstie’s desk and with candy corn, mini-marshmallows, and toothpicks.   Their task was to create a tower.  Below are some of the results!

Have you been doing GoNoodle at home?  I am sure that your firstie has you told about it!  We do it every day to get our wiggles out…and some days, we REALLY need it!  Ha!  We have also done it a few times to just take a minute to breath and chill….which I know that we ALL need. 

I have shared this before (in years past), but it STILL such a good reminder and set to some good Christian music.  This is from one of my favorite Christian bands, Rend Collective.  I pray that you continue to worship, pray, lean on our loving Lord and Savior who promises to NEVER leave us.  Please listen to the words carefully….

As we continue to learn about the Israelites and all of their struggles, we also learned about how they were set FREE from slavery…as are we!  When Jesus died on the cross, He set us FREE from the chains of sin…and to demonstrate that, each firstie made a small chain and then broke it (by karate-chopping it…which of course they LOVED). 

We LOVED our Pajama Day on Wednesday!  And one firstie wore FOX slippers that I was totally jealous of!  

(For those of you who don't know, I had a dog, Josie, who was a little Pomeranian, and she looked like a little fox.  I started liking fox things, and people started gifting me "foxy" things, and even though she passed away a year and a half ago, I still am partial to fox things. Ha!)

Finally, on Wednesday, we went outside and enjoyed the awesome fall weather that God gave to us, by picking leaves!  And THEN we turned those leaves into “Leaf Creatures”!  They had SUCH a good time doing this!  Each firstie also had to write about their “Leaf Creature” and we will finish our writing on Monday.  Below is a sneak peek!  Enjoy!

Blessings on your week!
