Christmas Pageant

The MWF 3's (our class and Mrs. Bonura's class) (mini) Pageant will be on Wednesday, December 16 at 9:30. We will be getting the kids dressed at 9:00. We will go to the Sanctuary, dressed-up in costumes, and act out the Christmas story and sing songs as the story is read aloud. The children will be dressed as the different characters in the nativity. There will be several Mary's, several Joseph's and so on. Parents and siblings are invited to this production. After the Pageant our Christmas party will begin in the classroom. We are planning to start the Christmas party at 10:00. A snack will be served to all the children provided by the Mom's who are organizing the party. The children will get to decorate a cookie and hear a story. We are going to try and go outside at 10:35 for some outdoor play. Finally, at 11:00 we are all going to watch the Big Pageant in the Sanctuary. If you have any questions regarding our very busy day, please email me or just ask at the door. The Mom's who are organizing this wonderful day are Julie Williford, Marcia Gadbois, and Margaret Madureira.

This Friday, December 11 our class will be performing as a dress rehearsal to the seniors at 11:30.

Just a reminder that on Monday, December 14, Noon dismissal and Wednesday, December 16, Noon dismissal. For those parents who feel going to the 11:00 Christmas Pageant is too much may leave after our Christmas party.

Our new shape is triangle, our number is five and our color is green. We are talking about opposites and positional phrases (up/down, in/out, next to, back/front).

I sent home a fun "green" gel packet that we made in class last week mixing yellow and blue to create green. We showed the kids how to use their fingers to trace shapes as this will help them with their fine-motor skills. Please let me know if you have any questions about this fun project.
