A Note from Mrs. Kaber:
Christmas Walk:
Every year the kindergarten class goes on a walk to the Zehnle house directly behind my classroom. Both teachers and assistants walk with the students and stop in front of the house. The kids bring a clipboard and a graph. They graph wreaths, presents, the nativity scene, etc for a math activity. Mr. Zehnle is very kind and opens up his Santa's Workshop garage for the students to see. This is one of our favorite kindergarten traditions. He has loved doing this since his granddaughter Sophie was in my Pre-K class when I first started CCLS. They are members of Webster Gardens. We have planned to go on Thursday, December 7th.

December 20th- The kindergarten classes are leading the Advent Chapel that morning. Each child will play an important role in leading worship. You are invited to come to chapel and watch at 8:25 am. Our lines or parts were sent home. Please practice with your child (if they have a line). We will also practice at school. We are very excited to share the message of Jesus birth! Students may wear their "Christmas best" on that day if they would like, or their traditional uniform.
Adopt a Cow- Our class "adopted" a cow from the Ozarks named Arlene. Arlene is staying at the Farm at the College of the Ozarks, but we will get updates on her growth throughout the year. Our class will have a stuffed animal cow named Arlene that will get to travel to your home this year! She comes in a Dairy Cow bag and has a journal. When you get her, make sure you take good care of her, and have your student write in the journal about the fun they had with her. You may add pictures as well as the fun you had. She also LOVES to take rides in a washing machine too :) Have fun!
