Cycle 2 Week 10 - Announcements

Announcements for This Week

1. Baby Shower for Megan Anderson and Cybill Nelson will be this Friday at 6:30pm at the Benge home. Email Amber if you need the address of directions. Please bring a finger food to share! Please note - this will serve as the Mom Heart Night for December - let's make it a special time for these sweet moms.

2. Please save empty cardboard boxes, cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, oatmeal canisters, etc. We'll use these to build our castles on the Review Day on 11/28. You can bring them on Monday and place them in a bin that will be in the fellowship hall near the science table. We need quite a few so please help!

3. Reminder for Assigned Jobs on 11/14:
Nursery Duty: Jenkins
Tables/Floors: Paruch
Trash: Goodwin
Playground Duty: Mirovsky + we need one more volunteer!

4. November 21 will be our final CC day of this semester. Tutors may decide to have a party to celebrate during snack time - this will be up to each class. We will do Tutor Appreciation Day in the spring this year, but if your family would like to give a gift to your child's Foundations tutor, you are welcome to do so! I will post some of their favorites later this week in case you need ideas. Don't feel obligated to buy a gift, but please DO give your tutor a big hug and let her know she is appreciated! These ladies work so, so, so hard!

5. November 28 will be our review day. I'll share more about this in the weeks to come, but put it on the calendar because it's going to be A LOT of fun!

6. Our community Christmas party will be on December 2 at 6 pm. We will have a Medieval Feast! We'll have an authentic medieval meal (no forks and spoons allowed!) and some surprise entertainment. You don't want to miss this fun night - your family will remember it for many years to come! :)

7. If you are willing to help with medieval feast food, decorating, or planning, please plan to meet in the fellowship hall on Monday at 12:30 while the kids play. We were going to meet Tuesday night, but several were unable to be there so let's just plan to meet while we're already together on Monday.

8. The history sentence for week 11 has caused a few parents to show concern. It is centered on the French Revolution and mentions the guillotine. If you or your child is not comfortable with this history sentence, it is completely okay to step out of the classroom and take a break during that part of new grammar. If you have questions about this, feel free to call me this week!

I have to apologize for not having a resource round up ready for you guys today. But after reading the tutor emails, it looks like many of them have already sent you some good ideas to work with. I'll post a big list of resources for the rest of the semester by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience! I love you and it's a privilege to serve as your director!

Have a fantastic week with your little learners!
