Week
of December 2nd
We hope everyone
had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving break! We only have three weeks
left until Christmas break and we are going to be busy for the next
few weeks getting ready for the holidays!
Family
Traditions
We love the
holidays because of the family traditions that develop that make it
so meaningful to each of us! We would like to invite you to come in
the week of December 9th to introduce some of your
families holiday traditions. This could be a dish that your family
makes around the holiday season, a favorite holiday book, or a craft
or activity your family does together. If you have anything you
would like to share with our class, please let Teacher Jo or Teacher
Jaylene know and we can get you on the calender.
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
Please
get your tickets Monday if you are planning to go! We have been
informed that there is not a lot of interest yet, and the Santa
Breakfast could be cancelled if we do not sell more tickets. Our
Santa Breakfast which will be Saturday, December 7th

8:00-10:00. Tickets are $5.00 per person and includes pancakes,

We could use volunteers for this event, all volunteer hours will go

Winter
Weather
We
are in the winter weather mode and need to be aware of school
closures.
If the weather is looking questionable you can check the website, our
Facebook page
or sign up for the remind 101 from LAPS that will send you a text
regarding closures. We
will also be sending out an e-mail as soon as we hear of any
closures.
February
Fieldtrip Sign up
Please
make sure you fill out our February Sign up even if you do not plan
on attending, that way we don't pester you! 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. 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.
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!
This
week in the Star Class
This week we are
keeping our projects quiet, as we work on our holiday surprises! We
will not be putting out a lesson plan this week (it will be in class
with us) or sending it to you so there is a chance you will be
surprised when you open your gifts! It is hard enough for our little
friends not to share what they are giving as gifts. We will also be
heading up to the sanctuary every day this week to practice for our
Winter Show everyday so we get used to singing with the other classes
and staying on stage.
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!

weeks songs in the Star Class
We are still
working on our Christmas songs for our Winter Concert! 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.
