Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A Christmas Prayer
Gentle Jesus born this day
In a manger filled with hay.
We your Christmas children beHelp us now your love to see.
Gentle Jesus, come today
Be our shepherd, Lord we pray.
Gentle Jesus, come this hour
Fill us with your love and power.
You fell asleep in Marys arm
God kept you safe from all alarm.
Gentle Jesus, come today
Be our Shepherd now we pray.
Amen.

What are we Learning This Month?

Dear Parents/Guardians,
The holiday season is nearly here! It is very
hard to believe we have almost completed
the first term of our Kindergarten Journey!
This month, we move into the popular
Christmas/Advent theme. Students will be
engaged in a variety of learning centers
focusing on our central themes.
Continue reinforcing letter sounds and sight
words at home, as well as, the importance of
following classroom rules and routines. Thank
you for your continued support! We do
appreciate it!
