Parents, thank you for support and prayers last week.  We finished "W" week well!
See photo of Wacky Wednesday as we read our Dr. Suess book under the table....how wacky!

It's November!  Before we know it, we will celebrate Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays.  Please be aware of the following dates as you mark your calendar for this month
and next.

WE DO HAVE SCHOOL ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH (ELECTION DAY)...UNLIKE LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS.  

Wednesday, November 14th - Late Start

Thursday, November 15th - Veteran's Day at Perimeter School - 9:30 a.m. in Main Auditorium.   This is one of the most memorable days at our school.  Our school hosts hundreds of American Military to say thank you for their service.  Invite any service people that you know. Please check out the Veteran's Day information on the school website.
Students will wear chapel attire this day.  Please join us if you can.  Fantastic morning.

Wednesday-Thursday, November 21 and 22 - Thanksgiving Holidays
The children will participate in a Thanksgiving Feast on Tuesday, November 20th.  Our class will dress as Indians and will make our costumes at school (nothing to do at home).  The teachers provide the food and our awesome Parents of the Month will help to host that morning.

Christmas Pageant - Wednesday, December 19th 
It's precious, lasts about 20 minutes (after working for a month to rehearse) and it a MUST for parents and grandparents.
Probably around 9:00 a.m. but will get info to you ASAP.
We have cow and sheep costumes from past two years but might need to spruce up or add to...

Service Projects - Thursday, December 20th 
Teachers will be a part.  Parent led.

This week we will travel to the African Savanna as we study the letter Z and read a beautifully illustrated book, Here on the African Savanna.  Our Parents of the month will provide a traditional African meal of beans and rice on Thursday after we watch a slide show presentation of Mrs. William's mission trip and safari to Tanzania.

Please continue to encourage your children to practice their letters on the chalkboards at home.  Mrs. Jernigan and I are creating practice sheets for letters and numbers that students have studied to date.  Look for these to come home in the future.

Thank you also for your wonderful effort and encouragement to your children with their Book of the Week Journals.  Many of the kids are becoming quite competent with recalling the stories and illustrating.  We love reading these aloud on Monday mornings.
