Newsletter - November 25th

Star Class News
Week of November 25th

Thank you to everyone who came to the Take and Make Family Fun Night. It was great to see so many families and the projects that we saw really turned out great. We hope you had as much fun as we did.

Food Drive
Little Acorn is participating in a holiday food drive now to the beginning of Christmas Break. If you would like to bring food to donate, we have a box outside of our class that will be emptied periodically. Tickets will be on sale until December 4th and can NOT be purchased at the door.

Santa Breakfast
Tickets go on sale this week for our Santa Breakfast which will be Saturday, December 7th from 8:00-10:00. Tickets are $5.00 per person and includes pancakes, eggs, sausage, fruit, and milk or coffee. Feel free to invite grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, and friends. We could use volunteers for this event, all volunteer hours will go toward your 2 hours of volunteer time!

February Fieldtrip Sign up
We didn't get this out last week, so we will try again this week! February 12th we are heading to NWCT to see Goodnight Moon. This year we are only going Wednesday, February 12th, so everyone is invited to attend. The cost is $5.00 per person. We need to how many people will be coming before winter break starts, so we will be setting out the sign in sheet this week. After your child's name please let us know how many tickets you will need. Please remember our school policy is that the teachers do not transport or supervise the children during fieldtrips, so you will need at least one adult per family. We will start collecting the money after our Winter Break.

Bake Sale
November 25th and 26th we will have our annual Bake Sale during school hours. We will be taking baked donations to sell both days. If you aren't a baker, then you can come and buys some goodies for your family!

Winter Concert
Mark your calenders for Tuesday, December 10th at 6:00. We will be putting on our Winter Concert with the Butterfly and Rainbow classes. We hope that everyone can come! We will have more details when the concert nears.

This week in the Star Class
We can't believe it is already Thanksgiving week! We only have class on Monday and Tuesday this week. We will be creating Turkey Centerpieces and having a small thanksgiving feast! We will also be graphing our favorite Thanksgiving foods to see what is a favorite in our class.

Word Wall
This week we will not be doing a letter for our word wall, but if your child would like to bring in something we can attempt to find a word that rhymes!

This weeks songs in the Star Class

Sorry but we will already be singing Christmas songs!! If you hear them at home, we know it is a little early but in order to have at least some of the kids sing at the Winter Concert we need to start singing them now. We won't put them in the newsletter so you can be somewhat surprised at the concert.
