Saint Andrew School:
Building a culture of life, and a civilization of love through faith and knowledge
Mrs. Russo's Pre-K 4 Classroom News....
November is here!!! The children are doing a fantastic job in the Pre-K classroom!!! Now that the weather is changing, please remember to label all jackets, coats, sweatshirts, etc... Let's also encourage the children to put their jackets on by themselves and to even try zippering them. They really do get so excited when they can do these skills on their own. :)
This will be a busy month with exciting themes such as Transportation, Forest Friends, and of course Thanksgiving. We will talk about the true meaning of Thanksgiving and what happened at the very first Thanksgiving. We have many songs to sing, books to read, and crafts to create! Our Thanksgiving "Feast" will take place in the classroom on Wednesday, November 27th at 10:00. You do not have to pack a snack for your child on this day. There will be a NOON dismissal on Wednesday, November 27th. Classes will resume on Monday, December 2nd.
Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place November 21st, 25th, and 26th. Please make sure to send back the conference sheet as soon as possible if you would like to schedule a conference time with me.
Our Interactive Notebooks are coming along very nicely. We will focus on the letters P, C, and I for the month of November. In Religion, we will focus on God's Gift of the Bible as well as the Gift of Water and Food. Saint Andrew's Feast Day is November 30th!
Please do not forget about our Thanksgiving Food Drive. The Pre-K class has been asked to bring in plastic storage bags and trash bags. Donations will be collected until November 12th.
Lastly, I would like to send out a "save-the-date" for our Christmas Show . It is going to be Tuesday, December 17th at 9:00 in McGettigan Hall. After the show there will be a visit from Santa Claus and light refreshments. The children will go directly to the Hall on this day. Once the festivities are over, the children will be free to go. This will begin our Christmas Break. Classes will resume for us on Monday, January 6th. More information will be sent home in the near future. We just wanted to get the date out to you as soon as possible. :)
