What a fun week we have had at SCDC! The kids have done some fun Thanksgiving activities in their classes that you have seen coming home I’m sure. The children have had a great time preparing for their feasts and talking about the first Thanksgiving. This is always a special time with the teachers and its fun to see if the children try a “new” food to them! In chapel this week the children learned about how thankful we are for the wonderful world that God has created for all of us. Just as a reminder the week we come back from break will be family chapel week. Lastly, the children had a yummy activity in their centers time making “Corn on the Cob Cookies”
which consisted of a sugar cookie, white frosting, clear decorating sugar, and yellow jelly beans. For those that have a known allergy we had an alternative cookie for them to eat. This is always fun for the kids and it gives them a chance to have a special treat!
Just a couple reminders:
**Next week we are CLOSED for Thanksgiving break – school resumes Mon. Nov. 30th**
*Week of Nov. 30th Family Chapel
*School directories were sent home this week. If you did not receive one please email Susan at susan.vankirk@suncreekumc.org
On behalf of all of the staff at SCDC I wish you and your families a blessed Thanksgiving~

Weekly Director's Update
I hope you have all enjoyed the beautiful weather this week, I know the children have enjoyed having outdoor recess!! The month of November we are celebrating home and family. The children’s activities will be centered on fall, practicing good manners and giving thanks to all the things God has given to us. We started our new bible verse in chapel this week: “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.” During our chapel time the children got a chance to share something they are thankful for. I always love to hear the answers!!
Today we practiced our first bad weather/tornado drill. The kids did a great job with this one. Next Thursday we will have our monthly fire drill at 10:00 am. The children enjoyed the Allen Fire Departments visit this week to see the fire truck. That was a great photo opportunity! Many of the children took the firemen up on getting a chance to get up inside the fire truck for a peek!
Conference dates for Pre K rooms (Red, Sky Blue, Purple) are quickly approaching: Sign up sheets for times on these dates are by the classroom doors

Your children are so precious and we thank you for the awesome opportunity we have with them everyday! Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great weekend~

Happy Thursday!
I hope you all had a great week! The children have been very busy and had a great time. The classes have continued to study community helpers and fall. The older classrooms had fun pretending they were police officers this week and wrote tickets and placed on the staff’s cars. They loved that!! In chapel this week they learned about how God is like a life vest for each of us. I invite parents to attend family chapel next week – 9:15 am on the day your child’s class has chapel.
Just a few reminders:
· All bike-a-thon donations are now due! The SCDC community has been so generous on donations from our fundraiser! I will give you a total dollar amount raised by next week. Thanks so much!!
· Family Chapel all next week – 9:15 am check with your child’s teacher for the day if you are not sure
· Halloween party Wednesday for M/W Rainbow & Green classrooms & Thursday for all other classes. Please check with your classroom teachers for the party times as they may differ. We encourage the children to have costumes for the parties.
· Scholastic book orders are due by Oct. 30th
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!!
