Countdown to Christmas!
Class Advent Bag
We've begun our countdown to Christmas in Room 103. On Thursday, November 30th, we attended a school wide Feast Day of St. Andrew and First Week of Advent liturgy in the gym. This past Friday we sent home an advent bag to one JK and to one SK student. Each student will have a chance to take the Advent bag home for one night only. In the bag is a book, nativity items and an Advent Journal. Please read the story to your child and enjoy the nativity items. Talk about Advent and then have your child draw a picture in the Advent Journal and help him/her to write about how your family prepares for Jesus' birthday. Please return the bag and all of its contents the following day so that everyone will have an opportunity to take it home. Kindly make this a supervised activity so that we not lose any pieces.
Joy Day - Wednesday Morning, December 20th!
On December 20th, the school will celebrate "joy day". Parents of kindergarten students are invited to visit their child's classroom and enjoy a morning of Christmas crafts and stories. More details will follow.
Bullying Awareness Day - "Be a Buddy, Not A Bully!"
On November 29th, St. Andrew marked Bullying Awareness Day. Staff and students were encouraged to wear pink. Our class talked about showing God's love as an alternative.to bullying. We sang "Love Is Something If You Give It Away". We created a "friendship web" with yarn and children were invited to share what they liked about a classmate.
