     Happy December!  This week Advent begins.  We will be using devotions in our classroom centered around the Advent wreath that is used in our worship services at Faith.  May the Lord bless your hearts and homes as you prepare for the celebration of His birth.
     Thank you so much for the items that were donated for our Thanksgiving surprise for Lee Raven.  He will be one excited young man when he sees the goodies.
     Our memory treasures for the month of December will be from our Christmas Eve service.  We will be working on them at school.  Watch this blog for times when you might be asked to review a part at home.
     Our class sings for the late service this Sunday.  We will meet in our classroom by 10:15.  After we sing, the children will be excused to go and sit with their parents.  If your child cannot be there to sing, please be sure to let me know ahead of time.
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK AS YOU PREPARE YOUR HEARTS FOR CHRISTMAS!

     Are you ready for SNOW?  The forecast has that word in it a few times for this next week.  Please be sure to send mittens, hats, and boots when the white stuff appears.
     Beginning this week the first graders will each need 10 dimes for math class.  I will send a snack baggie to send them in.  They will be returned on the last day of school.
     Our Social Studies lesson talked about the Chinese New Year last week.  I told the children that we will try using chop sticks for our snack time on Tuesday just to see what it is like to eat like a Chinese child.  I do have enough sets that each child may have his own.  I will send the chop sticks home with each child on that day.  Maybe you would like to try them.  : )
     Look for a note being sent home this week about making a surprise Thanksgiving package for one of our former FLS students.
