We had so much fun in the parade today!! Thanks to all of our CCA family for coming out and supporting us! I hope everyone was able to go home and get warm. Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with your children every day! We have very sweet friends in our class and Mrs. Berni and I both have so much fun with them. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone for contributing to our feast today and for coming in to celebrate with us. We are truly blessed!

Have a very happy thanksgiving!!

For Our Troops

We wrote letters to soldiers overseas to help make their holidays special.
We love and pray for the men and women who keep our country safe.
Thank you for everything you do!!

Zoo Party

Hey everyone!

We had a blast celebrating yesterday! I loved all my friends costumes. They were all so creative.

We ate lunch in our room and had ice cream. Then, we played "Zoo Catcher" on the playground. The zoo keeper had to catch all of the animals and put them in the zoo. I doubled as a penguin and the zoo keeper.

Here's a picture of our fun day! Have a great weekend!

Online Games and Resources

Parents,

I was just looking up some new fun games for my friends to play in computer center and came across this website. All these games are FREE! They would be great websites to let your children review the letters, letter sounds, vowels and rhymes. Some games would just be a review but if your kindergartner has younger siblings let the kindergartners "teach" the younger sibling these games. Your kindergartner is working on higher level thinking skills when he or she is teaching. This builds more connections in the brain and helps cement the skill for long term learning.

Denver Downs

Parents,

We are still planning to go to Denver Downs tomorrow morning. Please send your child in clothes that can get dirty since everything will probably still be wet from today. We will leave school around 8:30. If it does rain we will have to cancel.

Pray for a clear morning!

Love,
Mrs. Glenn

Homework Sheet

Hey parents,

The homework sheet didn't quite make it into the folder today. Please read your Little Bookworm tonight and we'll complete the sheet together in class later on this week.

Mrs. Beak will be substituting tomorrow for me as I will be out of town.

If you need anything feel free to call, text or email me.

Love,
Mrs. Glenn
