Good Afternoon! What a busy week we have had! Looking forward to a long weekend - Remember that we do not have school on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King's Birthday.
Update of Faith the Cow and Heifer International - SCDC raised $300. With the recent earthquake in Haiti and need for aide, Heifer has issued an emergency appeal for funds to help families recover from the destruction. As a school, we decided to donate the entire $300 to this effort. We feel that this money will go to a great cause for people who are suffering greatly. Thank you for all of your donations.
Next week in Centers, the children will have a cooking/food activity on Tuesday and Wednesday. The activity is Winter Snowballs. Please see the recipe below if you would like to try it at home.
1 box white cake mix (baked as directed)
1 can vanilla frosting
Powdered Sugar
Clear Wilton Sprinkles
Pam Cooking Spray
Bake the cake according to the box and let cool. Crumble the cake into a bowl and empty 1/2 of the can of frosting into the bowl. Mix together and chill for 2 hours. Lightly spray hand with cooking spray and roll a spoonful of dough into a ball in your hands. Mix powdered sugar and sprinkles. Roll the ball into the sprinkle mixture and enjoy!
Next Thursday, January 21st - Fire Drill

Forms will be coming home next week in your child's folder. You will need to fill out the forms and hand in the day of registration, beginning Monday, January 25th.

The registration fee is due at the time of registration. The supply fee is due by April 1st. Please review all of the forms and let me know if you have any questions.

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

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.

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~
