The most wonderful time of the year! It is, isn't it? We continue the hustle and bustle of all the things we need to get done at home and school, and it seems so crazy! We plan and plan and plan! In our Wandering Wisemen devotions this week we learned about God's timing and planning. He planned hundreds of years in advance to make sure the wise men would see Jesus' star and find him. He has planned years in advance for his coming and the perfect timing of his return. We continue to wait with anticipation for His coming again!

Homework:

Next week no new Homework. We will start up after break.

Current*Purple Reading Slip and Math homework will be due Monday, December 18.

*Library books are due Monday.

Keep working on Luke 2! 


Jungle Explorer of the Week:

Anthony was our special Jungle Explorer of the Week! Thanks for sharing your poster and pictures with our class. We enjoyed getting to know you and learning that you love park core. Your favorite place is Saginaw, and your favorite food is tacos! We love that you want to be a YouTuber when you grow up! You are so special to God and to us, Anthony, and we loved getting to know more about you this week!


WORDS OF THE WEEK:

Thanks for helping your child practice their words at home! We worked on: does, friend, enough, should, you're, through.

We'll start up with our words again after break!


Class Christmas Party:

I am looking for some volunteers plan/help with our class Christmas Party and have a sign up genius link below if you would like to be a part of this! I could use 1 more person if you are still thinking about it! Thanks so much!

CHRISTMAS Party:

Our class Christmas party will be the Thursday(Dec. 21) before break. 

Please have your child bring in his/her "boy" or "girl" gift on Thursday, December 21.

We ask that each boy come with one wrapped "To: A boy, From: _______" labeled gift, and each girl come with one wrapped "To: A girl, from _______" labeled gift. These will be used as a part of games and activities at the class Christmas party. Please limit the value of these gifts to $3 only. Even though you may be able to find a great deal on a higher priced item for only $3, it helps us avoid some difficulty if the value of each item is actually $3. It is not a requirement to participate in the gift exchange part of the party if you would rather not participate.

They have had a ton of fun learning about businesses and economics! Thanks so much to all the parent helpers who came in and were a banker so kids could get paid, glued items together, helped with ideas, ran stores, and helped us pack things up!!
