    Bible: We finished our unit on Abrahamand Sarah. This fit in nicely with the

    theme of pilgrims for Thanksgiving time.

    We talked about their wanderings and then

    the many promises God gave to them.

    Bible Memory: Luke 2:8-11Due: 12/21

    Math:* Measuring with rulers and tapes

    * Feet and Inches

    * Telling Time to the Quarter-Hour

    Language Arts:Phonics Skill: l and s syllables

    Sight words: puedo, voy, ahora

    Language Concept: past tense, infinitiveverbs

    Theme: Our theme this week was on

    growing and changing. Our main selection

    focused on different stages of life and

    what children could do then. We practiced

    past tense constructions and used those to

    say what children could or could not do.

    REMINDERS:

    * Our class could use some more snacks.

    * I will be happy to keep any Scholastic

    orders as secret gifts for your child.

    Just let me know.

    Upcoming Events:

    Dec. 4 Christmas Program, 9am

    Dec. 7 Christmas Program, 7pmDec. 7 Scholastic orders due

    Dec. 21 Christmas party

    De la Seora:Its beginning to look a lot like

    Christmas! The class is very excited

    about their upcoming program. On

    Tuesday during chapel time (9:00am) we

    will have a dress rehearsal. Please have

    your child dress up on Tuesday. Family

    and friends are welcome to attend.

    Then on Friday at 7:00pm we have the

    program. Please again have your child

    dress up. I also regret to inform you

    that we will not be doing the cookie

    fellowship time. We now have over 120

    students in PreK-2 and then with

    families there is no space large enough

    inside to accommodate everyone

    comfortably. There will be no need to

    send cookies to school on that day.

    Your child should be at school on Friday

    at 6:40pm and then picked up in the

    room at the end. Looking forward to

    seeing you all then!

    Spelling words come from the letter and syllable combinations

    we are studying for the week as well as sight words. Thiscoming week will be b and n combinations. When children

    learn to read Spanish they focus on syllable chunks rather

    than separate letters.

    na (nah) ne (nay) ni (nee) no (no) nu (new)

    ba (bah) be (bay) bi (bee) bo (boh) bu (boo)

    You can now find on my wiki a recording of me pronouncing the words to

    help your child practice spelling each one.

    Spelling Words:

    nube (new bay) NOUN: cloud

    bota (boh- tah) NOUN: boot

    mano(mah- no) NOUN: handbate(bah- tay) NOUN: (baseball) bat

    nido (nee- thoh) NOUN: nest

    Sight Words:

    va (bah) VERB: [he/she/it] goes

    van (bahn) VERB: [they] go

    dentro(den -troh) PREP: insidemuy(moo/ee) ADV: very

    bien(bee- en) ADV: well, good
