Junior Kindergarten
Updates/Reminders
Dear Parents,
During the month of November each year, we celebrate Thanksgiving. To coincide with this holiday at school, we are focusing our curriculum on Thanksgiving. Through activities provided, the children will develop an understanding of Thanksgiving symbols and foods. They will also become more aware of the many people and things for which we are thankful.
There are many ways for you to incorporate Thanksgiving concepts at home. Talk with your child about the special ways your family celebrates Thanksgiving. Involve your child in the preparation of a traditional Thanksgiving dish. Also, emphasize things and people for which you are thankful.

Field Trip
Unfortunately we were unable to reschedule our trip to the pumpkin patch due to our fall break and the closing of the pumpkin patch. We typically do not go on a field trip in November, however, this year we are in the process of setting up a trip. More information will be sent home later this week.
Our December trip will be on Wednesday, December 9th. We will be going to Munster Performing Arts Center to see a play entitled The Little Mermaid.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Szafarczyk
