“Run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” We have had such fun this week reading and then comparing/contrasting different versions of this classic.
What an exciting and wonderful time of year! We love watching the wonderment and joy that the children have as we learn about the true meaning of Christmas. It is fun to hear the children discuss decorating trees, baking cookies, and wrapping presents. Our favorite part, though, is that we are learning about the greatest gift ever given, our Savior!

Please see the information below regarding our book exchange during class Christmas parties.

• Bible Verse: “Today, a Savior was born for you in the City of David” Luke 2:11 (We will add Luke 2:12 next week, so practice at home as well.)
• Bible: The Christmas Story
• Reading/Phonemic Awareness: we will introduce the letter “Kk” and the sound /k/ makes
• Math: #7, number sense, more/less
• Unit: Christmas
• Show and Tell: Bring something that begins with the letter and sound of K.

• December 15: Prek/3 day Class Christmas party will be held from 2:25-2:55.  Please see details below regarding book exchange. 
• December 16: Prek/5 day Classroom Christmas Parties will be held from 12:00-12:45.  School will be dismissed immediately after the Christmas Party.  Homeroom moms are coordinating the class parties (we are so thankful for the help with the parties!) and will contact parents about plans and needed supplies. We will have a book exchange during our Christmas party. Please send in a wrapped book labeled “Boy” or “Girl” or “Either” on or before December 13.

Don’t forget – we need you! Shiloh has been blessed to win the NWA's Best of the Best Private School for the last eight years, and we hope to win it again! Please take a moment EACH DAY to vote for us using this link: https://www.votebestnwa.com/Shiloh

We appreciate your support! Our parents, our students and our staff make Shiloh a special place! Let’s spread the word!

• On very cold days, we will have the children wait inside the student building during carline.  We will walk children to their cars. This may take just a minute or two longer than on warm days when we can wait outside, but we want to keep the children warm and safe.
• If your child brings his/her lunch, DHS mandates the lunch box must contain:  1 protein, 1 grain, 1 fruit and 1 vegetable OR 2 fruits OR 2 vegetables.  Thank you for your help with this!
