SCDC

Good morning parents,


The kids really enjoyed the Allen Fire Department’s visit this week to SCDC! They were able to get up inside the fire truck and look around and have their picture taken with it. This is a huge hit every year for our students!!


This week the children began the new theme for the month in their classes. The classroom feasts are coming up on Wednesday, Nov. 17th & Thursday, Nov. 18th. These are not like the classroom parties we have for other holidays. The children will eat their “feast” with their class and teachers and they discuss what the first Thanksgiving was like and why we celebrate the holiday. This will be your child’s lunch for the day so look for a sign up sheet by next week to sign up for the food to be provided for you child’s class feast. We ask that parents do not attend the feast like our other classroom parties since this is a teacher led event.


This week we did start our new chapel lesson dealing with the Fruits of the Spirit. This week we talked about Love (strawberry) and that God wants us to love all the time just like he does for us. Next week we will introduce joy (orange) so please make sure to ask your child about what they have learned in chapel. This is a great time to introduce this to our students with Thanksgiving since they see cornucopias this time of the year!

Just a few reminders for next week:

We have our first tornado drill Monday at 9:45am

With the cooler weather please make sure you are sending a jacket or sweatshirt with your child daily. We go outside for recess daily unless it is raining J

November tuition is due

Hearing and Vision Screening Monday, Nov. 15th – Mandatory for our Pre K students (Red, Sky Blue and Purple Rooms) please turn in your form and payment ASAP. Make checks to Insight

Progress Reports: All classrooms with the exception of Rainbow will be sending home progress reports for you to review. We do this twice a year so you can see development wise where your child is. Please look it over and sign the back and return to your classroom teacher. We will do this again in the spring and at that time you will keep the progress report. *The Pre K classes are the only classes that hold fall conferences.*

Purple Conferences – Monday, Nov. 15th
Red Room Conferences – Tuesday, Nov. 16th
Sky Blue Conferences – Wednesday, Nov. 17th
If you have not signed up for your child’s pre k conference please look for the sign up sheet next to the sign in/out sheet.

Bike-A-Thon Update:
As of today we have raised $5,150 in donations!! This is fantastic and we are so appreciative of our generous community!!!! If you have donations yet to turn in that is great!! Please send them in as soon as you can. We have already purchased science curriculum (software) to use in the computer lab, books for several classrooms, and classroom manipulatives. The classrooms will continue to update items in their classrooms throughout the year with our fundraiser money. I will update you during the year with news of our purchases. Thank you so much for all your support!!!

Music:
The children are preparing for the SCDC Christmas Program which will be on Monday, December 6th at 6:30pm. All the students are part of this program so make sure you have this on your calendar. It is a special evening and will be held in the Suncreek sanctuary. Look for more information as we get closer!

**I took tons of pictures last week at the Halloween parties and during the fire truck visit this week. You may view all of those pictures on our blog at www.suncreekkids.blogspot.com. Make sure and check those out J

It was great to see so many of our SCDC families attend Suncreek’s Fall Festival last weekend. It was a fun event!!
