December 5 & 7

Dear Parents,

On Tuesday, your child will be coming home with an important RSVP form for you to fill out and return to school.  There are four dates for you to be aware of in December and the information is detailed on a second page for you to look over and keep.  Simply send the RSVP form back to school.

If you'd like to get a jump start, I have also included these forms in the attachment on the email that led you to this week's blog.  You are welcome to print that out if you'd like and return it to school on Tuesday.  Otherwise, you can wait to receive a copy on return it on Thursday.

This week marks the first week of Advent, a special time to prepare our hearts for the birth of Christ.  In class, we will learn Advent songs, read stories about the Nativity and do crafts related to this.  This week we will make St. Nick and an advent wreath.

The themes for the remainder of December will be as follows:

Dec. 5 & 7 - Advent & St. Nick
Dec. 12 & 14 - Letters I & J: "I Love Jesus" (Advent & Christmas)
Dec. 19 & 21 - Christmas

New classroom photos have been added to our 3K Homeroom site.  Just click on the link to the left to check them out.

A December snack reminder will be in your child's folder tomorrow.  

Remember to place your book orders online if you are interested.  The date and code are written on the back of each order form.  

Although our lives tend to get rather busy around this time of the year, my hope for all families (my own included!) is that throughout this Advent season we will always keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas, the most precious gift of all, Jesus. 

Have a Blessed Advent!
Mrs. Van Helvoirt
