Happy Friday!

I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend. It was great to see everyone who made it out on Wednesday for our Thanksgiving celebration. After our trip to the Apple store, the children were super excited to help out with filming and editing of the imovie showcasing what they were thankful for this year. Thanks to Max, who created a menu for the dvd, a copy of the thankful recording in coming home today for you to enjoy at home.

This week we’ve been working on quadrilaterals, prepositions, and fractions. We’ve got a busy next two weeks before winter break. Next Friday, the 12^th, is out field trip to West for the Ebenezer dance performance. Thank you to everyone who has turned in their permission forms and volunteered to drive. If I have not received your child’s permission form, I have sent home another form. Also a reminder since we are using private vehicles, please send your child with their booster seat if they need one. Thanks! The same goes for the following Thursday and our trip to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have been reading the book aloud and having a lot of fun with the story.

Friday, the 12^th, is also Denali’s winter holiday night from 6:30-8:00. The choir will be singing and it should be a lot of fun! On Tuesday, the 16^th, we will be making gingerbread houses in the afternoon. We have already started collecting milk cartons and will be looking to collect canned frosting, graham crackers, and assorted candy decorations. On Wednesday, the 17^th, from 1:00-2:00, we will be having a holidays around the world celebration. Each classroom in our primary wing, will be focusing on the certain country and holiday. The children will be able to pick from the different rooms and attend two different rooms during the session. Our classroom is doing Norway and the Northern Lights Festival. If you would like to join us for either of these activities, just let me know and we will be happy to put you to work! J
