Happy December!
We have a busy month ahead of us at SCDC!! We have been practicing for our annual Christmas Program that will take place this Monday evening at 6:30 pm in the church sanctuary. Please dress your child in church clothes or holiday attire and drop them off in their classroom by 6:15pm. If your child is in M/W Green drop your child off in the classroom. If your child is T/TH Green drop your child off in the Centers room, a sign will be posted for you to help find it. A cookie reception will follow the program immediately in the round room. We ask parents to drop off cookies for the reception all day on Monday in the round room of the education building. This is a special evening for our SCDC families!
We kicked off our mission project this week in chapel with Faith the Cow and Heifer International. The children love bringing money to school on the day they have chapel and putting it inside our Faith the Cow. This is such a great mission to help others in need and the children are able to see how they can make a difference. We thank you for all your generous donations!!
The teachers have so many fun activities planned this month for your children surrounding the birth of Jesus. You will see many wonderful things coming home with your child! Please make sure and keep your eyes out for sign up sheets for the classroom Christmas parties: M/W Rainbow & Green on Dec. 16th and all other classes will be on Thurs. Dec. 17th. We invite our parents to come and enjoy the party with your child and the class.
Just a couple reminders:

Weekly Director's Update
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~

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
Thurs. Nov. 12th Purple Room

Wednesday Nov. 18th Red Room
The progress reports for Orange , Green, Yellow and Blue rooms will be going home the week of Nov. 16th. Please sign and return the report to the teacher before Thanksgiving break so they will be able to use it again in the spring. The Rainbow Rooms progress report will not go home until spring. If you find you have any questions about the progress reports please contact your teacher or myself.
A flyer was sent home in your child’s folder today with information about the arts and crafts festival at Suncreek UMC – How Bazaar.

*The feast takes place during your child’s scheduled lunch time and is just for the students and their teachers. We don’t treat this as a party setting. The teachers use this as an opportunity to talk about the importance of the thanksgiving feast and what that means.*
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!!

SCDC 2nd Annual Bike-A-Thon
We are so excited for our 2nd annual Bike-A-Thon on Wednesday, October 14th. What a fun day for the children and a great way to support SCDC. This is our only major fundraiser for the year. All funds raised will be used to support our SCDC classrooms. For our Bike-A-Thon, the SCDC parking lot will be transformed into a bike track. The children will have assigned times when they will ride their bikes around the track. We encourage parents to come and enjoy the day with their children. The rain-date for this event is Thursday, October 15th. Let's hope for a dry and sunny day!
