Our preschool theme for the week is Hibernation. During this unit, the children will learn about which animals hibernate, migrate, or adapt for the winter.  We will learn about what they do to prepare for the long winter months.   All of the children are invited to bring in a stuffed animal to school on Wednesday.  We will let these animals “hibernate” in our classroom until Friday. Please make sure that the animal that your child brings to school is a hibernating animal and one that won’t be missed overnight!  If your child cannot part from their favorite hibernating animal, you may bring in a picture of an animal to hibernate instead of a stuffed one. Examples of animals that hibernate are: squirrels, snakes, frogs, mice, worms, ladybugs, snails, toads, woodchucks, brown bats, caterpillars, bears, chipmunks, raccoons and skunks. When your child is choosing something, please help them select something that would really hibernate and discourage things such as dogs, cats, monkeys and horses. Thanks for your help. We will be introduced to the letter “Qq” for quiet and quilt.

We also will be making an Advent calendar. The children will be bringing it home on Monday. There are directions on it. Each night, starting December 1st, the children should color ONE star. It will be Christmas when all of the stars are colored. 

“God’s Special Message for Mary” will be our Bible lesson for the week. God speaks to us through his Word.  We trust in God and the things he tells us in his Word.
