Star Class News
Week of December 15th
Our Winter Concert was wonderful, Thank you for everyone that came and supported the kids while they sang (and stood) on stage. The kids have been working hard learning their songs and it was great to see so many families able to come out and watch. We also want to thank everyone who participated in the scholastic book fair, we hope that you are all able to enjoy your books over the holiday break.
Check out our door. Our Friday class decorated it for the holidays, all the kids were able to practice cutting and taping as we put a snowman on our door.
Holiday Surprises
This week, the children will be bringing home their Christmas “surprises’ for their families. They may give them to whomever they wish and whenever they wish. These gifts were made with love, we hope you enjoy them.
Gingerbread Forests/Christmas Party
We will be creating Gingerbread forests on the Thursday and Friday. Thank you to everyone who has donated money to help pay for the goodies we will need. Lisa Hudson has offered go out and get goodies we need for decorating to ensure that they are free of nuts, egg, and dairy.
Our Friday group will meet up with their Sunshine friends to work on our Gingerbread houses.

Mark your calendars for January 6th, from 6:30 - 7:30pm, for our Little Acorn Parent/Board Meet-and-Greet. If you are planning on attending, please RSVP in the office by Monday, January 5th. It's a great opportunity to meet our board members, get to know each other, and build a stronger school community.
Food Drive
Little Acorn is partnering with the church in this years food drive. Our Food Drive box 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.
Friday
We will be meeting in the Star Class on Fridays. Please remember if your child comes on Friday, we will be picking up and dropping off in the Star Class.
This week in the Star Class
This week we will be finishing as many of the Christmas projects as we can, there are so many fun ones to do this time of year as we finish up our holiday theme. On Wednesday we will have a Hot Cocoa party and decorate Snowman cups to decorate your homes. Thursday and Friday we will be watching a holiday movie and creating our Gingerbread Forests.
