Please remember to dress your kiddos for the weather.  It’s a good idea this time of year to always have hats, gloves, an extra sweatshirt, and extra socks in their backpacks.  Warm winter coats are needed when the temperature is below 40 degrees.  Once there is snow on the playground they will need snow boots and snow pants to play out in the snow, otherwise they may have to stand by the wall or on the pavement.  Please remember to put their names on everything!

Please also practice letting your sons and daughters get themselves ready to go outside.  They need to be able to put on their snow pants, boots, coats, hats, and gloves all by themselves by January.  I will help and teach them to be as independent as they can be.  So please start practicing now.

In celebration of Friendship and Thanksgiving, we will be making and sharing Stone Soup together the week of Thanksgiving.  As in the story of Stone Soup, everyone will bring in an item to contribute to our soup and then work together to create a delicious meal.  On Monday, Nov. 25^th, we will be trading amongst the Kindergarten classes to obtain all of the ingredients we need for our soup.  We will peel and cut up all of the vegetables on Tuesday, Nov. 26^th, in the afternoon and then eat our soup together on Wednesday, November 27^th at our Feast.

Our class needs to bring in potatoes to trade with the other classes. Each student needs to bring in one potato by Friday, November the 22^nd.  If you signed up during conferences to bring in items for our feast day, I also will need those items by Monday, the 25^th.  I will send out individual reminders to remind you what you signed up for.

If you would still like to come in and help out with our Kindergarten thanksgiving activities rotations.

I could still use 2 more volunteers on Monday morning Nov. 25^th from 8:20-11 am.

I could use 2 volunteers on the morning of Tuesday the 26^th, to help cut up veggies with the kiddos.

I could use 2 more volunteers Wednesday, Nov. 27^th serving our feast and helping with clean-up from 12:30-2.

If you are interested or free please email or text me so I can see how many parent volunteers we have.

Thank you always for all your assistance!
