PARENT CORNER

THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS!!

Wishing you a restful time of relaxation with your family and loved ones during this Thanksgiving vacation!  May God’s peace and joy rest upon you.  Thank you for all your prayers of love and the support extended to our children, classroom, and to me.  You are loved and appreciated dearly!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Thank you to everyone who brought an OCC box to school. We topped last year’s total! This year K-12 brought in 277 boxes that will be sent out all over the world to effect children for the gospel of Jesus Christ! Thank you for working together to make that happen. It was awesome to see students from Kindergarten to High School loading the boxes for delivery and praying together (as they surrounded the boxes) for the Lord to use these gifts to reach others!

TOGETHER WE CAN

We will be having a K-12 project that helps those in need  during the holidays. This program will run through Dec 6th. Please check the list of items that we are collecting before you go shopping or raid your pantry. We’re calling it “TOGETHER WE  CAN!”  All of our collections will be benefiting the Pinedale community. Our High School has a “Book Buddy” program with Pinedale already. Please bring your items to our classroom and we will have a big red bucket to put them in. It is a great opportunity for our children to share with those in need!! We are having a contest between the classes as well, so let’s work hard for those in need first and maybe even a prize for us at the end.

MATH TEST

We will have a math test on Tuesday, November 26 over Chapter 3 Addition and Subtraction.  A Pre-test was sent home last Monday to review concepts in Chapter 3.  Please return your completed Pre-test the day of the test if you haven’t already done so.

WEEKLY HOMEWORK

Please return your Red Homework folder by next Monday, December 2 with assignments  including corrections for an improved score, missing assignments, absent work, or incomplete work now finished for credit.

THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION

We will be having a class Thanksgiving celebration on Tuesday, Nov. 26th, from 1: 30-2:45 PM.  Our room parents  are planning some activities to encourage us to reflect on the things we are thankful for.  God has blessed us greatly!!
