Welcome Back to School!!!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas Break and made many memories. This will be a review week in Language so please keep practicing those sight words. I am working on the rest of them (for the year) and will hopefully have those sent home in the next couple of weeks.
The students are getting back in the swing of things and we have a lot of things that we will be discussing over the next few weeks. Winter weather, Martin Luther King, Jr., St. Valentine, President's Day and don't forget we will be celebrating Doughnuts for Day on the 25th of January.

School will let out at 11:45 however for those students who normally stay extended care will be available until 6:00.
I want to take this time to thank all the parents for all you do to encourage your children. We have had a great year so for and I can not believe that we are half way through.

Jr. K. News - Dec. 17
The students had a great time on Friday as they participated in Santa's Workshop. They made several different crafts and drank hot chocolate with their cookies at snack time.
This week we will be focusing on the real reason that we celebrate Christmas and that is the birth of Jesus. On Wednesday we will have a birthday party for Jesus and sing Happy Birthday to him. They children will enjoy a piece of cake and juice after our weekly chapel.
Each class will also have a Christmas Party on Friday at 11:00. Our class will exchange books before they eat pizza and decorate cookies. Please sign up to bring some of the supplies needed. We are also asking that you donate $2 to help cover the cost of the pizza.

Jr. K. News - Dec. 10
Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!
We had a surprise visit from the Gingerbread Man himself today. He dropped a few clues for us to follow and we searched for him all over the school. Mrs. Langford's class came along to help us look for him and when we finally did (back in our classroom) he invited us to sit down for a little taste. The students really enjoyed their gingerbread treat.
Don't forget that the Christmas Programs are Tuesday night at 5:30. Students need to meet in the Choir room at 5:15 in full costume.
We will also have our bi-monthly safety class on Wednesday as Ms. Kitty Jones comes to our class to present a new lesson. We always look forward to her visits.
Friday CCS will be hosting Santa's Workshop. Each class will be guided from one room to another by some wonderful volunteer parents. The teachers will remain in their own rooms and supervise the activities while the students create several projects.
Only two weeks until Christmas Break!!!!! Ugh!!!!!

Jr. K News - Dec. 3
Hello to All,
I can't believe that it is December already! We will finish reading a variety of Gingerbread books this week as well as discuss differences and similarities about them.
Sight words for this week are with and my. Please keep reviewing all of the previous sight words. I will work on getting the rest sight words put together and send them home after the new year.
The students are learning new words all the time and are beginning to sound out words so encourage them to read and also read to them.
More later.

Jr. K. News - Nov. 26
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. I know that many of you traveled and some are still on the road so we will continue to pray for you. We cannot wait to hear about your adventures.
WOW!!!! I cannot believe that we are already nearing Christmas. This is my favorite time of year; not because of all the presents and gift giving and receiving; but because of family. I so treasure mine and love to spend time with them talking about days gone by. I love the traditions that we have and the opportunity to pass these on to our children and yes grand children.
We will be looking at traditions in Social Studies and talk about where that might have started. If you have any fun ones please share them with your child so that we can discuss them in class.
The students will begin having two sight words a week in Language. This weeks are come and me. Which is funny because one of the songs that they will sing for their Christmas program is "The Little Drummer Boy", and the first line says, "Come they told me...".
The Gingerbread Man is also a really big hit around this time of year and we will be reading 9 variations of this story during the next two weeks. We will compare and contrast them and predict the ending of each. At the end of the lesson the students will enjoy a snack of gingerbread cookies. Yum, yum!!
Reminders:
Dec. 6 - St Nicholas Day
Dec. 11 - The Christmas program will be held on Tuesday Dec. 11 at 5:30. Students need to meet in the Choir room at 5:00 pm. Our class will be angels. Please dress your child in solid white clothing. You can make a garland wreath to place on your child's head for a halo.
Dec. 19 - Happy Birthday Jesus Party
Dec. 21 - Class Christmas Party (Early Release)

Jr. K. News - Nov. 12
Last week we had time to slow down and catch our breath
after two really busy weeks. We began
talking about Thanksgiving and how the Pilgrims and Indians celebrated it in 1620.
Next week we will celebrate our Sharing Feast on
Friday. Jr. K will be making Sweet
Potato Casserole while the other classes are preparing other great dishes to
share with the school. There is a sign-up
sheet posted near our classroom. Please indicate
which item(s) you will be able to send. We
will need these by Wednesday.
Don't forget this is the last week for our food drive. Jr. K and Kindergarten won again for the most food collected. Congratulations!!! We have one week until Thanksgiving break and in Language we will be reviewing our sight words and blending sounds.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Keever
