Welcome to week two of November.  The countdown to the end of the year is vastly approaching! Exciting things are in store for the kids! As we strive to keep everyone safe, please remember to complete the daily attestations each morning prior to coming to school.  

This week we will talk about Veterans and how they’ve served our country.  We will make cards thanking them for their service and deliver them to a few veterans in our classroom family. Our My Big World reader this week is Let’s Try New Things. We are trying new things in school everyday and this reader is a great way to show kids the importance of trying new things.  Our conversations this week will be all about veterans and we will read Veterans Heroes In Our Neighborhood as well as watch a video Veterans Day Thank You. Last week we collected leaves, bark, sticks, acorns, etc. to play with in our sensory bins, which we will continue to do.  We will continue to work on our fall crafts and crafts for our Thanksgiving celebration. 

For Jesus time, we started talking about Creation.  We will review days 1-2 and we will learn about what God did on days 3-4.  We introduced a new prayer last week and the boys and girls say it beautifully.  The prayer is below if you’d like to say it with them:

Thank you for the world so sweet.
Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for the birds that sing.
Thank you God, for everything. Amen.

Our Christmas Program is sure to be an event that you won’t want to miss.  We have started practicing our songs and I’m so excited to share information about our program with you in the coming days!  

Upcoming Important Dates:
November 24, 2021 – Thanksgiving Feast

I look forward to a wonderful week.  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me through ClassDojo or via email [email protected].  

Have a blessed week.
