Dear Parents,
I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away. If you have any donations for the Thanksgiving Feast that needed to be sent in early they can be brought in to our classroom at any time.
Well if Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks we know that Christmas is right around the corner. The children have begun working on their Christmas service already. This year we are going to have a Posada. It is a Mexican tradition in which the people of the village re-enact Mary and Joseph’s travels to Bethlehem. The literal translation of posada is “inn”. The service will be held on Sunday, December 14th, at 2:00 p.m., at ConcordiaUniversity’s Chapel of the Holy Trinity. All the children are expected to attend. You are more than welcome to invite any family or friends to the service. More details will follow as we approach the date.
A fun activity we have in our classroom is the Mystery Box. I put something in the box and the children must ask questions to determine the contents. It usually takes us a few days to discover the object. So far we have had sand, a stuffed penguin, an apple, a tie, a stuffed rabbit, and play money, in the box. The children are using great thinking skills to discover the mysterious contents.
