Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a well rested Thanksgiving weekend!  The feast was a wonderful success.  Thank you again for helping make it such heartwarming event.  :)

Can you believe it's December already and we're now in Advent?!  Today in church, all of our classroom Advent wreaths were blessed.  The students are preparing for Jesus' birthday as well.  Mrs. St. Louis challenged us all to do service for others during this season, and our class came up with a list of things they can do to be helpful.  The kids are coming home with this list today, and should choose 1 activity a day, to do.  After it's completed, they can cross it off and choose another one the next day.  This will take us right up to Christmas!  (I told them that they would need to do 2 things today, since we weren't here yesterday.)  :)
