🌹✟  Our Field Trip to St Therese Church  ✟🌹

A Sneak Peek at our Upcoming Week:

We will be learning  Letter Ff,  working on squares and reviewing other shapes and working on our new November themes!  Don't be surprised if you hear your little performer singing some Christmas songs along with Thanksgiving ones this month!!  We are going to start to get ready for our BIG CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR which is just a few weeks away!!!!  

πŸ‘ͺF is for Family:πŸ“Έ

Please remember to email me or send in a family photo that you will not need returned.  We will be using the photos for a Letter Ff Show and Tell in a couple of weeks as well as for a special Family Unit Lesson and Class Book. Thank you to everyone who has already sent one in.  If it would be easier to send in two photos of your family  with some members on each, that is perfectly fine too!  I know it is hard to gather everyone together for a single photo!
