Facilities Appreciation

Facilities Appreciation

Dear Parents,

October is the month for Kindergarten to show appreciation to our facilities team here at Grace Community School. As you all know, the facilities department does A LOT for our class. They clean up ALL of our messes. ALL of them!
On Friday, October 30th, we would like to plan a special day for the facilities team. Our class will make cards for the facilities team and we would like to have special “treats” for them as well. If you would be willing to bring in food for our facilities team to enjoy, let me know. I will be standing outside each day at dismissal with a sign-up sheet. If you can contribute, that would be wonderful. Since we have a large class, not every family will need to contribute, but the more the better!

Thank You!

Miss Nenadov

We are ON for our field trip tomorrow. The forecast says that it will be partly cloudy with a high of 81 degrees! :)

Homework Tonight!

There is handwriting homework tonight! Please work with your child to complete page 26. Make sure that they are sitting properly, facing forward with both feet on the floor. Go over proper pencil grip with them and use the slant guide if needed.

Please have your child put the completed homework page back in their folder and return it to school tomorrow.

If possible, please have them use a "fat" pencil. A larger pencil assits them in developing their fine motor skills; it gives them more control over their work. :)

Philippians 4:4-8- “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
