I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I have uploaded pictures from the three year old classes Thanksgiving Celebration. I will have the four year old class photos posted on the blog as soon as they upload. Thank you to everyone who brought a food item to share! Mrs. Dinham and I really really appreciate it.  For the feast we joined our Kindergarten friends, who were dressed as Native Americans. They made a lovely table for us all to eat and enjoy each others company, complete with Native American symbols. It was a huge hit!

The Turkey in disguise projects look fantastic! I can see everyone worked very hard on theirs. This week we have continued to work on our handwriting and learning alphabet letters.  Al, our puppet friend from Al's Pals has visited twice this week. He has discussed a variety of feelings and what to do with them when you have them. Al's place is a rocking chair with a stuffed animal in our classroom. Any child may use this at anytime when they are having big feelings, need to calm down or just need a break. Please let me know if you have any questions about Al's Pals.


Come visit the St. Malachy vendor fair tomorrow! There will be a wide variety of items at this show. Find the perfect gift for people on your list!

Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Feast- Tuesday Novemeber 22, please bring a food item to share with 17 people. We've had a wide variety of food items brought in the past. We have been working on pilgrim costumes for preschool.

Have a great weekend!

        Our first annual STEM night is just around the corner!  This Thursday November 10, from 5:30-7:30.  St. Malachy students can come join us for a night of STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Students will be able to walk around and go up to individual exhibitor tables and interact hands on with the STEM equipment.  Students will be able to touch and interact with an ultrasound, robotics, a model train, animal furs, augmented reality sand table and many more fun items.  
       We have representatives coming from Stalker Cheverolet, A & G pizza, SWCC, Southern Hills Veternary, Greater Regional, and Creston High School just to name a few.  Our PTO will be serving popcorn and every student that comes will get a take home gift.  We hope you can join us and explore our STEM night.  RSVP here so we make sure every child receives a gift.  https://goo.gl/forms/tiQT4u3NGA2WRuho2
