Dear Parents, September 23, 2013
Apples, apples, apples!!!! We all love apples! This week we will learn all we can about APPLES!! We’ll make apple wreaths, apple turnovers and learn about Johnny Appleseed. We will enjoy the story about his life and how the Lord led him to plant apple seeds throughout our new country. We hope your child will read his/her apple books to you.
This week I will be having parent/teacher conferences. Please try to be prompt since the conferences are tightly scheduled and are only 20 minutes each. Thank you. If you are unsure of your conference day and time, please ask me. Conferences are held in my classroom.
Our Bible verse this week is “Forgive us our sins” Luke 11:4. Our character trait is contentment – being happy with what God has given us and how He has made us. Our sight word is “and”.
We are sending information about Samaritan’s Purse OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD shoeboxes. This is a great ministry opportunity for you and your child to participate in. The shoeboxes are due in November.
We are going to the Pumpkin Patch the morning of October 18 from 8:00 -12:00. This is a delightful time of learning about harvest and the fall season. We take a hike, have a hayride, choose a pumpkin, and eat our lunch. Please tell me if you can chaperone for this trip. See attached flyer.
