Live Nativity

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! God planned thousands of years in advance to make sure the wise men would see Jesus' star and find him, He planned thousands of years for Mary to bear a son. He has planned years in advance for his coming and the perfect timing of his return. God's timing is always better than ours. We continue to wait with anticipation for His coming again!

The kids had a great time at the Critter Barn! Check out pictures at the end!


Homework:

Math Homework and Purple Reading slips due on Dec. 15. Homework will resume after break.

Enjoy Luke 2 as part of your Christmas this year!

Jungle Explorer:

Adam 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 like soccer, football, and swimming. We love that you want to work for your dad when you grow up! Your favorite place is the Florida and your favorite food is pizza. You are so special to God and to us, Adam, and we loved getting to know more about you this week!


Christmas Around the World:
Dec. 16- Christmas Around the World Day- We will read about 5 countries and how they celebrate Christmas and make a craft to go along with the reading to remember each country. We will be in the gym all morning and move in stations. I could use a couple more parents from our class to help out with this day if you are able. Check out the sign up genius to sign up!


Class Christmas Party:
Our class Christmas party will be Thursday(Dec. 18) before break. 

Please have your child bring in his/her "boy" or "girl" gift on Thursday, December 19. 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-$5 only. Even though you may be able to find a great deal on a higher priced item for only $3-$5, it helps us avoid some difficulty if the value of each item is actually within the range that is set.. It is not a requirement to participate in the gift exchange part of the party if you would rather not participate.


Hot Chocolate:
On Friday, December 19, please send your child with a mug from home. I would suggest not a favorite mug as this will need to travel to and from school. We will be enjoying hot chocolate together with our mugs and pajamas on the last day before break! 

Lost & Found

The office is continuing to update our South Side Lost and Found Album as items come into the gray tub in the office. Please check it out to see if any of these items belong to your child. Feel free to email Rachel Steen, to claim your item(s), and we will be sure to get it into your child’s backpack.

Happy Friday! What a fantastic week we have had in second grade! Kid Town has been a success and the students have enjoyed it immensely! We have seen wonderful examples of generous spirits and students who are polite and caring business boys/girls, and they have also been wonderful shoppers with a lot of patience. 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!!
