Kindergarten Letter - 12/2/09
Kindergarten News – December 2, 2009
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! This Thursday’s parent evening has been rescheduled for January 14th 6-7:30pm – mark your calendars. There will be no meeting this Thursday.
Holiday Parade in Jacksonville – Madrone Trail will be walking in the parade in Jacksonville this Friday evening (December 4). All families are invited to join in this fun outreach event. We will meet at 5:30 and the parade starts at 6:00. Madome Brion will email the details of where to meet as soon as she finds out. I hope to see you there and don’t forget to dress warm!
Spiral of Lights - Friday December 11th at 9:00am. Please arrive at 8:45 and meet outside the kindergarten classroom. As the children enter the room they will find it transformed into a beautiful evergreen spiral pathway with a single candle burning in the center, lighting up the dark room. Each child will have an opportunity to walk the spiral and light their own candle in the middle and then place it along the spiral pathway as they make their way out again. After all of the children have walked the spiral, the room will shine brightly. This festival is a reverent and amazing experience for the children. I hope that all children will be able to experience the spiral journey. Please RSVP if your child will be attending by Thursday December 10th.
Communications – I am making a list of families who prefer to receive communications via email. Please let me know if you would like to be added to this list.
We have recently learned some new circle songs; here are a couple of favorites.
The Mitten Song
Thumbs in the thumb place, fingers all together,
That’s what we say in mitten weather.
Hats upon our heads and scarves around our necks,
Warm boot, warm boots, so we won’t get wet.
Little Jackie Frost
Little Jackie Frost nipped my nose.
Little Jackie Frost pinched my toes.
So I ran into the house and I shut the door.
Little Jackie Frost couldn’t find me anymore.
Blessings,
Miss Amy
