Family Traditions
Over the next three weeks, we will be doing a lot of holiday projects and talking about what we doing during the holidays. We would like to invite you to come into the classroom and talk about any traditions you have during this time of year. If you have a story you always read, a cooking project, an art project, etc. you would like to share with us, just talk to Teacher Jo to plan a time to come in to the classroom. We can't wait to share this time of year with you!

We will be having a Book Fair the week of December 8th – 12th. You can check out the book fair during school hours or at the Winter Concerts.
Food Drive
Little Acorn is partnering with the church in this years food drive. This week we will be decorating a box that will be set just outside of our classroom. The boxes will be out through December so your child can bring in a few cans of food or other non perishable items to donate to the food boxes the church hands out this holiday season.
This week in the Star Class
This week we are going to begin gearing up for Christmas. Some of our crafts are meant to be a surprise as we are starting on our Christmas gift, but we will also be doing projects to start making our room feel like Christmas.
Word Wall
This week we will be continuing with the letter Ii for Igloo or Iguana. Your child can bring in an item that starts with the letter of the week and we will write the word out and put on our word wall. They can put their item in our pelican that is by the word wall.
