Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!  Mrs.Cooksey took these photos the other day!  Silly kiddos!  We are looking forward to sharing our Christmas chapel with the school on Wednesday, the 21st.  Please join us in the sanctuary to celebrate the newborn King, Jesus our Savior at 8:45 AM.  We are finishing up our parent gifts and enjoying the Christmas season.  Have a wonderful Christmas season!

December Happenings

There is much excitement in the air in kindergarten!  As I'm sure you can imagine, they are excited for Christmas but also for the other things we are doing in our classroom.  We have worked on our gift for you, are practicing for our Christmas chapel service, learning about our last SuperKid friend (Hot Rod), and this week we are participating in The Hour of Code.  "The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming"  (from KhanAcademy.org).  I introduced the children to Kodable, an app that teaches coding, last week.  Yesterday, we learned about coding by getting the Gingerbread Boy/Girl safely to his/her house.  They did very well!  You'll see their coding coming home this week so be sure to ask them what all the arrows mean and they will love to tell you about the smiley face and sad face!  We will do additional coding this week using Kodable and our Gingerbread kids, too!

Snow Gear info - Children may bring snow boots and snow pants in addition to their winter coat, mittens and hats if there is enough snow to play in on the playground/parking lot.  Please have the snow boots and snow pants in a separate bag.  One of those large recyclable bags you take to the grocery store works great!

Have a great week in Jesus!  Thank you for sharing your children with me!
