Well, it's Monday after Thanksgiving. Seems like a long time since we were at school. A great big thank you to my daughter in law, Agnes, for helping out last week. She's really quite good with the kids, and the kids seemed to like her. Having that kind of help from family members means a lot. Her willingness to just jump on board and work as many hours as she did was just splendid. I applaud her! I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and break, and I hope the kids are ready for a fast paced Christmas month.
Beginning today, we are on the lookout for Santa's little angels! Every year, the best behaved boy and best behaved girl win the Santa prizes. What does a child have to do? Well it's Advent, and it's a new year on the Church calendar, and the child needs to realize how he can be a better child in this new year, and begin to shake off old poor habits and take on new good ones. Teachers recognize these little trials and reward the children with a special holiday sticker which is kept on a long string in the back of the school. When a child is expecially kind, does something wonderful, or is just exceptionally good, he receives a sticker on his string. On the 18th, teachers count up the stickers and choose two winners. Are there any surprises? You bet! We will talk about this today in school.
The rest of the week is a normal in school week. All teachers present and accounted for, and school work looms! Little children will be making ornaments with me today. It's important for little kids to contribute to Christmas any way they can. We will do a lot of this kind of thing between now and the 19th.
We will be having a taco lunch; turkey on Tuesday; turkey soup on Wednesday; Piggy pie on Thursday; and on Friday we'll have breakfast for lunch - a bacon egg and cheese on hash browns the kids really like.
It might snow today, so don't be surprised.
