Look what we are doing

 

Religion

This week we learned about how God gave Gideon the victory over the

Midianites with only 300 men.  The children have been acting out the lesson in our room so if they come home saying, “A sword for the Lord and Gideon!”  You’ll understand what they are talking about. Lesson learned:  God is almighty and powerful and cares for us!  The remainder of the month will be devoted to learning about how God sent Jesus to be born of a woman to save us from our sinfulness. Christ was born to save everyone J

 

Phonics/Language Arts

Letters Mm and Nn.  Zoo-phonics animals Missy Mouse and Nigel Nightowl.

This week’s nursery rhyme:  Little Miss Muffet

 

Small motor skills

The children continue to practice their skills by using their scissors for various

cutting activities in math and in art.  They are also learning how to write the #8

and #9. They also practiced writing upper and lowercase Mm.

 

Health

We talked about the food groups this week and completed am “I am Healthy” booklet.  Next week, the children will be introduced to a variety of different fruits

and vegetables during a “taste test”.  I’m sure Mrs. Mitchell and I may see a few

surprised faces with each new fruit or veggie.

 

Art

Please peek in our room and find your child’s beautiful bell that they made.  It’s

beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Fill the Dome

THANK YOU for all of the food you have donated so far! The Pre-K class
has come in second for both weeks of the “competition”. Our last week of
donating ends on November 16. If you would still like to help with this,
please bring in more cereal boxes.

New American Center

The next servant project for GLS will be collecting mittens, hat, and scarves
for the New American Center. These items will be collected during the
month of December.

Look What We Are Doing

Religion
During the next two weeks, we will be learning about Moses and the plans
that God had for his life. This week we focused on baby Moses and how God
protected him from the evil Pharoah.

Math
Ordering by size; writing #7; matching the write numeral with the correct
group

Social
We made thank-you cards to Thrivent for a gift that the organization gave
to the GLS Fall Carnival. We also made a special bookmark to give to our
chapel buddies for Thanksgiving. The children also colored napkin rings
for our annual school Thanksgiving Feast.

Science
This was a week for experiments. An ongoing experiment is with celery and
water. The children made predictions about which celery would last longer;
the one with water or the one without water. The second experiment
involved mixing different liquids together. They were very surprised to see
that the oil did not mix with water but actually stayed on the top. ☺

Phonics
Introduced Zoo-phonics letters Mm and Nn. Animal for M is Missy Mouse.
N is Nigel Nightowl. Ask your children to share some “signals” and sounds
with you. I will have a list of all the animals for you next week so that your
child can review them at home.


******We also talked a lot about how to be a good friend this week.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ATHONY’S GRANDMA ,BARB DANIELSON,
FOR SHARING INFORMATION WITH US ABOUT VETERAN’S DAY*****

Grace Lutheran School Auction

The GLS (Grace Lutheran School) Auction will be held on February 25 at the
Ramada in Fargo. This is one of GLS’s major fundraisers. We hope you can
come to this exciting event. ☺

This year the Pre-K class will be donating items to make game baskets to be
placed in the silent portion of the auction. If you wish to donate, the ever-
popular “Black Friday” is the perfect opportunity to find an item that may
be reduced in price. Some of the basket ideas include: water games, travel
games, board game, activity/outdoor.

The children will also be making personalized coffee coaster sets for their
families. A suggested donation to the auction for these special sets will be
forthcoming.

If you have not yet volunteered for the Fall Carnival yet, please check out the worker list on our secretary's door.  Any help would be appreciated.
