Christ Church School Sunday :: October 3

We hope you make plans to join all of us for Christ Church School Sunday this Sunday, October 3.

CCS is the primary ministry of Christ Church and the parishoners always appreciate seeing "their" students. At the 11 a.m. service the church will offer prayers for the school and will recognize the faculty, staff, school board, but most importantly our students. Upper School students will also sing.

Following we will have cake and fellowship in the Parish Hall. It is a lovely morning and we hope you will be there.

Students are encouraged to wear their Chapel uniforms.

Hello all!

Hello everyone! We are excited to start a new week in Junior Kindergarten.  :)    This week we are learning about the letter Ff and families. We have many fun activities planned for the week. I would like to ask that you send some family pictures with your child by Wednesday of this week. We will be doing an art project with them. We are also working on a story called La Tortuga in Happily Ever After. We are learning about shapes and numbers in our Saxon Math. If you have any questions, you can reach me through the blog or through my school email. Thank you!

Family Shields

Family Shields on display at Canterbury Faire 2009

Canterbury Faire is just around the corner (October 23!). We are asking each family to help with decorations by designing their own family coat of arms on the shield provided. During medieval battles, knights would put their family coat of arms on their shields so they could easily be identified as friend or foe on the battlefield. Have fun with it and make this a family project to do together with your children. If you still have your shield from last year, please send back so we can display the shields for others to view.

Shields will go home with students Friday. Keep in mind that this project is per family, not per student.

Please have the project completed and returned to school no later than Monday, October 18, so we can display them on the that week. On the day of the Faire they will be displayed outside on a castle wall to add to the medieval theme of the event.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Some Important Things To Remember

Here are some things that are going on at our school that you should remember:

   

    Keep those BoxTops coming! The special bonus BoxTop program at H-E-B runs through the first week in October. Remember, the class with the most BoxTops will win a pizza party! We need box tops!  :)

 

    

   Canterbury Faire is quickly approaching and that means it's time for the Family Shields! Each year students design and decorate a shield with their family coat of arms. If you have a shield from previous years, please send it to school so it can be displayed and so others can see the incredible works of art you have produced! We will be sending home shields to new families to work on this week. Shields are distributed per family, not per student. When you have completed your shield please return it to school for display. Your child will be getting their family shield tomorrow.

 

      

     Please make plans to join us for a special day October 3 at 11 a.m. Christ Church celebrates CCS Sunday with a special service for our students and school. First through Sixth graders will sing during the service. Join everyone for cake and lemonade in the Parish Hall following the service.

 

     Our sign-up sheet for Parent Conferences is out on the board outside the door.  Please sign up for a time convenient for you to meet with your child’s teacher about your child’s progress. Parent Teacher Conferences are on October 11th. Remember, there will be no school that day. Extended Care will be available for children enrolled in that program. There will be no morning drop off that day. This is a uniform free day! But, please send your child in tennis shoes. Please send a sack lunch. Mrs. Lin has the day off in the kitchen!

 

I will also have a list out tomorrow on here of the Spanish words that your child is learning each Tuesday and Thursday. This way you can help your child in this area if you would like to.

 

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

 

Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a great weekend! We will be studying the human body this week and how the human body works.

I hope everyone has a great day and week. Thank you all!
