Dear Parents,
REMINDER: The TYKERS will be
participating in our annual SSJ Christmas play on Thursday evening, December 18th. I will be sending home their costumes this
week. Please iron them and have your child come dressed in their costume that
evening. Girls should wear a white blouse and white tights and light colored
shorts or skirts under the angel dress. Boys should also wear a white shirt or
t shirt and light colored pants under the costume. I would like them to leave
the costume after the play, so make sure they are dressed appropriately. If
your child will NOT be participating that evening, please let me know. Continue
to have them practice saying the words to “Joy To The World.”
LOAVES AND FISHES: We are asking that
each child send in a bag of wrapped Christmas candy to help fill treat bags for
the needy children served by the Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen. Mrs. Dzida
talked to the children before Thanksgiving about this project and I will remind
them that this is a way to share Jesus’ love as we prepare for His birth on
Christmas.
Here is an overview of this week:
Religion: We will continue to talk about
Advent and the many legends and customs of Christmas. Our “Seeds” lesson will
remind the children that when we give a hug, or smile, or talk with someone to
show our love, we are getting a loving heart ready for Jesus’ birthday.
Math: We will talk about numbers 10-20
and count out objects to match those numbers. Please have your child practice
recognizing those numbers at home also.
