Dear Parents,
We were excited to have Mrs. Marsh back with us this week! We all missed her very much!
It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away! The children have started their Native American costumes and will be working on their Pilgrim attire in a couple of more weeks. They have painted their vests and ponchos/mantels, and will make and paint clay pinch pots. They will be coming up with their own Native American names and will weave place mats. They will also pattern their wampum necklaces and headdresses.
We will join together for a “Thanksgiving Feast” with the other Kindergarten classes on the half day of school before Thanksgiving. Students will dress up as either Native Americans or Pilgrims and will eat their snacks for the day on their place mats in the cafeteria. We will also sing a few songs.
We have begun a unit on families and have been talking about how families are different. Students have been making large family collages and have been writing about what they like to do with their families. We have also been discussing how thankful we are to have our families!
Don’t forget… no school on Monday or Tuesday! Happy Veteran’s Day!
Have a great long weekend!
Melanie Duncan and Kerry Marsh
PS…We will be going to the Library on Wednesday (first day back after the long weekend). Please make sure your child has returned his/her Library book by then. Thanks!
