Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.  It is a great time to consider all the good things God provides for us, and also to consiider how the gifts we have are made or grown and give thanks for the labor that produces our goods.
We are preparing for our Christmas concert which will be held on December 5th in the school gym.  The children will be singing Jingle Bells and  Soon and Very Soon.   I am sure yu will enjoy their singing.
We will also have an Advent Retreat Day this week.  The children are learning the meaning of the Advent wreath and the story of Jesus's birth.  We are also introducing the children to the Church's liturgical year through the use of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
The children are continuing to learn the letters and their sounds, numbers, shapes, and colors.  Some of them are working at learning to write their names, and some are "reading" the classroom books.  It is great to watch their growth.
Have a blessed Advent.
