Room 100 Newsletter
Week of November 29, 2915
This week we welcome a new month, December,
and a new season of the church, Advent! What an exciting time!
The next few weeks will be very busy in Room 100, preparing for Christmas! Please make sure to read our newsletter each week so you know what activities are coming up!
This week, we will begin a unit on Advent and the First Christmas.
Our classroom elf will be making his debut and keeping watch on the children. He will be leaving little surprises in the classroom throughout the season! The name of our elf is “Eggnog”! I’m hoping he will bring some of this delicious holiday drink for the children to sample!!!! Our elf will show up in a new spot in the classroom on a daily basis!
Religion
We will discuss the meaning of Advent and begin a unit on this amazing time of year.
Every Wednesday morning during Advent we will gather at our Advent Wreath in our classroom for a small prayer service, lighting the candles for each week.
Also, look for a letter regarding Advent Angels in your child’s folder!
On Friday, we will celebrate the Feast of Saint Nicholas. We will learn about this Saint and then watch a short movie about him. The children will put their shoes out in the hallway and wait for a treat

We will also be doing a lot of practicing both in and out of the classroom for upcoming Christmas Show!
