Dear Parents,                                               October 21, 2013

 

We are learning about health and good nutrition this week.  It’s important to eat foods that are good for our bodies.  We will learn about the fruit and vegetable groups, the bread and cereal group, the dairy group, and the meat/protein group.  We also learn what junk food is!!!

We are thankful for all the things God has given to us.  We are practicing Psalm 100 and learning to hide God’s word in our hearts.  Please help your child with Psalm 100. This Psalm is part of our special program for the Thanksgiving Celebration.

Our character trait this week is Perseverance; never give up when you are doing what is right and good.   Our Bible verse is “Jesus answered,  “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life:  no man comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6.  .

Ask your child about Operation Christmas Shoeboxes.  The shoeboxes are due Thursday, November 7th or earlier.  This is a great project to do with your child.

 

THIS Friday is our trip to Jordyn’s Dairy Farm.  We will ride the bus.  Please be here by 8:00 and we will return by 12:00. THANK YOU DeGroots!!!!

 

Our DISCOVERY CENTER field trip will be November 1st. We will meet at 8:00 A.M. and will be back at 11:30 A.M. We will be taking a bus.  Siblings may come if you drive your car.  WE WILL NOT EAT LUNCH THERE.   Hot lunch will be ready when we return for those who have purchased it.  All day kids that do not have hot lunch need to bring a lunch as usual.

 

OVER…….

 

      On Tuesday, NOVEMBER 26th, the Kindergarten Indians and the First Grade Pilgrims will be having their annual Thanksgiving Celebration.  COME FROM 8:00 until NOON.  All parents and grandparents are invited to come from 10:45 to noon and bring your cameras.  Remember why we celebrate this important holiday.  God has blessed us so much!
