Dear Parents,

Welcome December! There are only three more weeks left of school for the year 2024! We have a lot of exciting things planned for this month. During December, we focus on teaching the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus. We do not intrude new instruction; however, we review all that we’ve learned so far this school year. We are also learning and practicing for our Christmas Program, which will be on December 16th. The children will make different Christmas and winter crafts and they are busying working away on a special Christmas gift they have for you.

For religion we will learn about Advent, the Angels visiting Mary, and the First Christmas. Our class did not get to lead Chapel for ECC as planned last week; however, they will lead Chapel this week and teach their friends about Advent. Our new prayer for the month of December is:

Dear God
Thank you for the gift You gave
who started out so small.
A tiny baby sent to save
and offer hope to all.
Amen

Lastly, Friday, December 6th is the first of our “Christmas Pajamas on Fridays in December” day. Can’t wait to see everyone comfy on pajama day!
