On Monday, we listed the many blessings we are thankful for and enjoyed a cup of "thanksgiving snacks" with our kindergarten buddies.

On Tuesday, we enjoyed some YUMMY donuts from Bowerman Bakery.

On Tuesday, the students worked in groups to escape a "Math Escape Room". They had 45 minutes to work together to solve over 16 multiplication clues.

The winners!

The disappointed "losers"

"Ms. Snoeyink said we could bring in Christmas stuff!" - In preparation for the Christmas season, the students and I thought it would be fun to each bring in a Christmas decoration from home. This item could be an ornament, lights, a little tree, a snowman sticker...whatever is "extra" at home and will not be missed. I told them they were not allowed to beg about buying something new. It can gladly be something extra from home :)

Classroom Christmas Party - We will have our Christmas Party on Tuesday, Dec. 13th from 1:30-3:00 (with a 15min break for recess). We will NOT be trading presents, but instead playing games and doing some activities. 

Here are my two options....

Choice 1 - I am looking for 2 more parent/grandparent helpers to lead a station for 5 students. I have the games and activities prepared, and just need a helper to lead the station. 

Choice 2 - Some creative parents (2 more parent/grandparent helpers) help create and design three stations/activities for us to do!

If you are available to help and/or plan, please email me and let me know.

Live Nativity - I'm reaching out to see if your 4th grader or your older children would have a desire to be Mary or Joseph in the Critter Barn's Live Nativity.  Mary, owner of the Critter Barn,  is eagerly trying to fill these roles!  Mrs. Bos told her she would help with recruiting!  If you need more info, send Rita Bos an email at rbos@hollandchristian.org!
