Week of November 17, 2025

We loved hand delivering our Christmas Show Invitation 
to our very special and very TALL Mr. Dunnigan!

⭐🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅⭐

A Sneak Peek at our Upcoming Week:   We will be learning Letter Hh, learning all about Thanksgiving, and continuing to work on our November themes as well as practicing for our CHRISTMAS SHOW!  

IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE NOTE: November 24-25:  PRESCHOOL will be in full session even though K-8 will have Noon Dismissals for their conferences.  Our PreK Conferences will take place in January. If you are planning on taking your full day student home at noon, please let me know ahead of time.  I will need to have you sign your student out of school.  I will have a sign out sheet with me at carline if needed.  Also, for our regular noon dismissal families: PLEASE note that it will be a K-8 noon dismissal as well as noon Mass at Church so our parking lot will be much, much busier than usual.  Please be sure to pull all the way up to the stop sign  if you are the lead car in our carline and please do NOT leave big gaps in our carline.  Also please DO NOT BLOCK the entrance into the parking lot.  Once your child is fully buckled in and you are pulling away, please use your left or right turn signals to indicate to our security officer whether you are turning left out of our lot or if you are turning right into the big school car line to pick up your other children.  ALSO, PLEASE NEVER PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU ON OUR CARLINE.  If you are ready to pull away before the car in front of you, please just be patient and wait for everyone's safety.  Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and patience.

Our Week in Photos:

📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

We started off the week differentiating between same and different items in a sequence!

Our Five Day Friends worked on differentiating between making Good Choices vs Not Good Choices...

Then we wrote our own Good Sharing Choice Stories!

And then the CRAZIEST thing happened!!!

Mother Nature made a not so good choice in my opinion...

and IT STARTED SNOWING!!!!!!

So we went outside and tried catching a few snowflakes on our tongues!!!!

❄❄It was so exciting!!❄❄

Our Five Day Friends are working on something very special and TOP SECRET!!

Don't ask too may questions about this!!

We continue to do such a great job with patterning!!!

When it is too cold to play outside, WE DANCE INSIDE!!!!

We did so well on our Letter Review!!!

We were all smiles in preparation for our class photo!!

I can't wait to see how it turned out!!!!!!

g is for giraffe!

We learned so many cool giraffe facts!

Be sure to ask your little conservationist all about it!

After reading a sweet storybook about an oddly shaped SQUARE pumpkin, we loved building our own pretend square pumpkins out of sticks!

And then we did so well solving our silly shaped pumpkin puzzles!! 

Our Five Day Friends are really doing well with their Gg letter writing!!

Letter Review Games are so much FUN!!!

Playdough is the BEST!

We are getting so good at counting!!

Fall Color Painting was so cool!

Number 3 was so fun to learn!

Playing in our classroom is so much fun!

We learned what Christmas is really all about!

And then we made our own Baby Jesus Manger Scenes.

They will soon be on display in our classroom.
