Sorry for the delay

November 12 already...wow!
Well there is a lot to report.  We finished our 3rd Happily Ever After unit on La Tortuga.  The children really enjoyed the story, but also enjoyed the concepts that went with it.  We practiced in, on, out, over, circling items.  They became quite good at these new concepts.  Along with new concepts, we began some basic polite Spanish words.  Hola, adios, por favor and Buenos Dias are just a few that we are working on right now.  They are now familiar with letters a-f.  Practice identification at home during fun time.   This week we will begin The Elves and the Shoemaker along with learning new concepts about ordering and the letters Gg and Hh.

Last week we had our wonderfully exciting trip downtown.  We pulled up in front of Orchestra Hall and the children's eyes opened wide!  We walked through the grand hall and eventually made our way into the performance space.  We were very blessed to have CSO come out on Halloween to give us a musical preview and so the children were ready to sing and dance.  They were well behaved and made great choices to listen and have fun.  I was very proud of them.

In Religion, we learned about David and Goliath and Daniel and the Lion's Den.  We talked a lot about trusting and having Faith in God and that God is always with us.  From now until Thanksgiving, we will be talking more about family and giving thanks.

Finally, please work on the homework square with your child and turn it in by Wed.  We will be reading Patchwork Quilt and talking about our class family quilt.

I wish you all a blessed and joyful Thanksgiving celebration.  Enjoy the food, the family and remember to give thanks to God for all!
