Yesterday was Wednesday, Today is Thursday, Tomorrow is Friday!

What a gorgeous fall day!!! God is so great to us!

Today we had computers and library!

We continued our work with solving problems in math and working together in our math centers!  We did a rhyme bounce and alphabet roll practice with a partner today-such great effort and team work was present!  We read another circle story by Laura Numeroff, If You Give a Moose a Muffin to discuss the cause and effect events!  In science, we were able to identify many shadows as the sun was shining bright and we made sidewalk chalk shadows!  In social studies, we recalled the state we live in as Texas, and identified it within the whole United States!

As we have been sharing and recognizing all of the ways that God made us each uniquely wonderful, we took part in an "I'm wonderful!" march!

REMINDERS:
Please be aware of the changing weather!! Please make sure your child is coming to school with a sweater/sweatshirt and is prepared to be bundled well to stay warm and healthy!

During the month of November, we are encouraging each child and family to support the ARK: St. Luke Catholic Food Pantry by bringing in canned/non-perishable food items!! This can include any canned food item such as vegetables, fruit, tuna, peanut butter, etc. or boxed items to include pasta and microwavable meals! Just as God has provided us, we are called to help others in need and to be the giving hands of Jesus! This is such an unique opportunity for you and your family to count your blessings, help others, and join in thanksgiving during this time of year!! Just imagine the impact we could make in others' lives if each day we each brought in at least 1 item for the collection!!! There is no limit to giving!!
Movie night is Friday, November 8th!! Food concessions will open at 6:00p.m. and the movie will start at 7:00p.m.  A fun filled night is to be had by all so come in your pajamas, bring a blanket (chairs for adults), and enjoy the movie 'Epic!'   Admission is 1 canned food item (not expired) which will benefit the St. Luke Food Pantry!  What a great way to spend quality time together as a family, all while making a positive impact on the community!!

Book Fair is NEXT WEEK!
The Thanksgiving Luncheon is Wednesday, November 20th!!!  This is a very special event to share in and be a part of as a school family!!  Please fill out and return the Thanksgiving Luncheon form with money amount to pay for the number of people in attendance!!
