So many, merry activities heading our way! 🙂 We would like to give a big thank you to all of our parent volunteers who have helped with the gardening and apple pie baking, the kids really enjoyed those hands on activities. We would like to have a cooking project once a month, reflecting the curriculum or theme. If you would like to assist with this and have any ideas we would love to hear them! Thank you to Brittany Feiwell for coming in and sharing the history of Hanukkah with our friends. Every child received a dreidel and instructions to play at home with their family. We welcome any other guest speakers who would like to come in and share about a holiday you and your family may celebrate at this time of year.

As some of you have seen, our baked goods table has been quite a hit. Everyone is enjoying the sweet treats we have to offer. Thank you so much for your donations. We look forward to shopping for our adopted family. If you would like to donate a needed item from our family’s wish list you may do so, all items must be brand new, store bought. We appreciate your donations but gently used items are not accepted through this Salvation Army event. This exciting project will continue through next week. The last day to make a donation will be Friday, December 13th. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to send Ms. Brianna or Ms. Jessie an email. Thank You.

P1’s Holiday Sing-a-long will be Tuesday, December 17th from 10:15-11:00. All are welcome to attend. After singing songs we will have a snack and beverage to enjoy together. We would like 6 parent volunteers to make some homemade treats for this day. There will be a sign-up sheet the week before the event.

Friday, December 20th, P1 will be dismissed at 11:15 am to begin the holiday break. FMS will be closed until January 3rd. School will resume Monday, January 7th. We wish you all the merriest holiday season, stay warm! 🙂

We have been discussing the various holidays celebrated at this time of year. We began talking about famous European landmarks, the people and culture of different European countries. Ms. Jessie shared about her special time living in Italy. We have an exciting work about constructing a small version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. P1 will continue discussing Europe until the end of the year, we would love to hear stories or share souvenirs that anybody has to bring in. 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Jessie, Ms. Brianna, Ms. Julie
