THANKSGIVING DEVOTION:
This week our class worked on leading a Thanksgiving devotion with his/her family.  The devotion came home on Thursday.  There is an orange devotion sheet, a bible story booklet, and journal pages. I hope you encourage your child and give them the opportunity to lead the devotion.  What a great step in the children's faith development to lead a devotion and share the Bible with you.
Advent begins the  Sunday after Thanksgiving.  
Advent is a time that we prepare for the birth of Jesus our Savior. 
At school we will have an advent wreath to help us count down the weeks till Christmas. 
We will be doing special devotions at school.
Mrs. Kuhlmann and I have purchased special devotions for you to do at home as well.  Look for them to come home on
Monday, November 29.



1st/2nd Grade Advent Service
-Our Advent services will be Wednesday, December 15th in the Zion Sanctuary.
-The students will be leading the Advent chapel during school at 10 am and they will need to wear their normal standardized dress.  Masks will be worn by the students at this service.
-Students will also be leading the church service at the 7 p.m. service that evening.  Please have your child arrive at 6:45 p.m. in the church basement. Teachers will not be in the church basement until this time, so please stay with your child until a teacher arrives. Students will need to be wearing standardized dress or church clothes.  Masks are optional for this service.  Please keep your child's coat and belongings with you because after the service you will be meeting your child in the narthex/welcome center area near the sanctuary.
-Your child will need to be in attendance at both services; parents and family are welcome to come to either service.  Please read through the administration's email that was sent out on 11/17 regarding mask regulations for the 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. services for adults that are attending the services.

We will celebrate St. Nicholas in the classroom on Monday December 6.  This is a German tradition that I grew up with and I like to share with my students.  Traditionally on the night of December 5 you put your shoes outside and St. Nicholas comes and fills your shoes with candy, fruit, and coins.  I want to give you a heads up in case your child puts his/her shoes outside on Monday night. 

Please look at home for these two books.
These books are missing from our reading sets and we can't replace them without buying a whole new set. ($60)





Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!
In Him,
Amy

After learning about David and Goliath, we talked about our own giants and how God helps us and the battle is the Lord's!


We learned about Cubism and started making cubist turkeys.
