Hello everyone

Hello parents! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful week here in Junior Kindergarten. We are learning about Winter and Christmas. We have talked about the weather change, how it has gotten colder and how this is something that happens during the winter. We have been reading books about the meaning of Christmas and why it is important. We have made many art projects related to the Christmas season and winter.

We have also started a new book in our Happily Ever After curriculum. It is called The Tug of War. We have also been working with money and time in our Saxon Math lessons. I ask that each child work on writing the numbers 1-10 at home and that you talk about time at home. We are learning to tell time and it would be extremely helpful if they could learn a little at home.  :)    

Some things for you to remember that are coming up this month:

          - December 10th is Santa's Workshop. This is a day when the children will go from room to room    making different things in each room. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer to help out in our room.

           -  December 14th is our Christmas program. It will be in the evening, so I will let you know the time when I find out.

           -   December 17th is our Christmas Party and the last day for the semester. I will have a sign-up sheet outside the door next week.

Thank you all for being such wonderful parents! Have a great weekend!

Candy Cane Lane next Wednesday, December 1

You most certainly will not want to miss the First Annual Candy Cane Lane Children's Holiday Fashion Show and Luncheon benefiting the Children's Hospital at Scott & White on Wednesday, December 1.

The fashion show will feature some of our adorable students modeling holiday fashions from My Vintage Baby, Orient Expressed and original designs from Amanda Duggan, a mom of a CCS student!

The luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. and is catered by Megg's Cafe. Tickets are $20. Space is limited so we urge out parents and friends to reserve a chair as soon as possible. To make your reservation, please see Kathy Barnes in the office or call 774.8622.

Parents Plus is also hosting a Holiday Bazaar in conjunction. Talented parents and friends of the school will have lots of gifts on hand to purchase. It is really going to be a fabulous day. The Bazaar will run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission to the Bazaar is free.

Hello Jr. Kindergarten parents!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.   :)    We are starting a new week here in Junior Kindergarten. We are continuing our discussion on Thanksgiving celebration and what things we are thankful for. We are learning about the letter Mm, money (Saxon Math), ABB pattern, the numeral 9, letter recognition and writing names. We have a lot to do this week and many fun activities planned. I still need feathers from some of you for our turkey on our bulletin board, and I also need a can of green beans from each child for the Sharing Feast on Friday. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. Thank you!

A few reminders

Hello parents! Here are a few reminders for you:

   - The Sharing Feast is on Friday, November 19th. I will need each child to bring a can of green beans by the Thursday before (we are doing the green beans this year).

   -  I still need the "feathers" from some of you for our turkey. They can be as decorative as you want and have as many family pictures as you want on it. I need the by Monday.

Thank you for everything you do and I hope everyone has a great week and weekend!

CCS Book Fair Saturday! Support CCS!

Hello all!

I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weather!   :)    We have had a lot of fun in Jr. Kindergarten talking about the weather change. We have also talked about things such as patriotism, fall, and Thanksgiving this week. We discussed what we are thankful for, what we eat at Thanksgiving dinner, the first Thanksgiving, and Pilgrims and Indians. We also discussed what it means to be patriotic, the United States of America (when the U.S.A. was formed, the different states, and the flag), and how important it is to be patriotic.

We have been learning about the letter Kk (the sound it makes, words that start with Kk). Our next letter will be the letter Ll. We are finishing up our Happily Ever After story (The Nightingale). Our next story will be The City Mouse and the Country Mouse. Since we started a new month, we started a new pattern on our calender. Our new pattern is the ABB pattern. We will do art projects that pertain to this pattern throughout the month of November.

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful week. We will start our discussion on Native American Culture next week in honor of Thanksgiving. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or comment on here. Thank you!
