It's Christmas Time in Fourth Grade

We have been very busy making all kinds of Christmas ornaments and crafts. We have even worked on a special gift for parents! In addition to making special things for ourselves, we have also worked on making  lap blankets for our friends at Carlyle Place. The children are anxiously waiting for our visit there on Monday, where we will sing carols and deliver our gifts.

Happy Thanksgiving!

WOW! WE ate and ate and ate during our Thanksgiving Day Feast. Thank you SO much for all the delicious things you sent. There were a few leftovers, but not many. Here are a few pictures for you to see:

Ministering to Carlyle Place

After delivering "Happy Fall" cards in October to the residents of Carlyle Place, the students were asked to participate in a coloring contest! Then the residents voted on their favorites.   Well, several of our Carlyle Place friends came Wednesday afternoon to award prizes for the coloring contest. EVERYONE received a yummy treat and a special congratulations goes to Zayne and Ellie for winning the coloring contest!


We are looking forward to our Christmas project for the residents of Carlyle Place.  We will be making lap blankets. We will need some extra hands the day we assemble them, so be on the lookout for an "I Can Help" form!  On December 14, we will carol, deliver the blankets, and enjoy a special snack with the residents.  Watch for a field trip form when we get back from Thanksgiving holidays.
