Candy Cane Lane next Wednesday, December 1

You most certainly will not want to miss the First Annual Candy Cane Lane Children's Holiday Fashion Show and Luncheon benefiting the Children's Hospital at Scott & White on Wednesday, December 1.

The fashion show will feature some of our adorable students modeling holiday fashions from My Vintage Baby, Orient Expressed and original designs from Amanda Duggan, a mom of a CCS student!

The luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. and is catered by Megg's Cafe. Tickets are $20. Space is limited so we urge out parents and friends to reserve a chair as soon as possible. To make your reservation, please see Kathy Barnes in the office or call 774.8622.

Parents Plus is also hosting a Holiday Bazaar in conjunction. Talented parents and friends of the school will have lots of gifts on hand to purchase. It is really going to be a fabulous day. The Bazaar will run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission to the Bazaar is free.

November

Dear Parents, Welcome to November! This month we will be learning about giving thanks, the first Thanksgiving, Pilgrims and Native Americans, and harvest. We also are learning about squares, black and brown, and migration. We continue to work on math concepts as related to fall themes...such as counting pumpkin seeds, patterning leaves, pumpkins, and acorns, etc. Our special activities this month include the Thanksgiving Sharing Feast and our Mayflower trip....for the feast, we need parents to help set up tables and serve food to the children. Ms. Boyd will have a short program and the children will dress in Pilgrim or Indian costumes. For the Mayflower trip, each child needs to bring a box big enough to sit in. We will put them all together and make a "boat" to sail away to the New Land. While on our trip, we will eat food similar to what the Pilgrims had such as biscuits, hard cheese, beef jerky, and dried fruit. This activity is usually confined to just our class but parents are welcome to join us. I will be sending home a large turkey feather for you to decorate with your child so that we can "dress" our big turkey on the board outside the room. You can use anything at all to decorate the feather......I love this activity because it shows such creativity and diversity among the children and parents. I will soon inform on dates for activities. Thanks! K. Mcrae
