Mrs. Lehnerer's Classroom Connection

In your child's folder is his/her Advent wreath with the first week's prayer. I hope you can place it in an important place of honor in your home! Each Friday we will be bringing home another candle to be added. In the hallway we will be working on an Advent calendar.

The class was excited to hang 2 ornaments on our Christmas tree. The excitement is in the air, especially with the first arrival of snow!

Please try to get your child ready for bed before all of the wonderful Christmas shows are on tv. Sleep is so important this month!!
