Practicing For Our Christmas Program
If you'd like a preview of some of the songs we'll be singing as a whole school at Friday's program, you can click on the links below. If you'd like to do a little at-home practice, invite your child to sing along! I've posted the lyrics below. (Special thanks to Caitlin Whitaker, our music teacher!)

Little Baby In A Manger
Knock, Knock, Knock Went Joseph
The Angel Band
Go Tell It On A Mountain
Christmas Songs 2010
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Ten Little Angels There was one, there were two,
There were three little angels
There were four, there were five,
There were six little angels
There were seven, there were eight,
There were nine little angels
Ten little angels in the band.
Knock, Knock, Knock Went Joseph
Knock, knock, knock, went Joseph at the inn in Bethlehem.
Can you shelter a family and be a big help to them?
"No room, no room," said the man in Bethlehem.
"No room, no room," said the man in Bethlehem.
(Only one child says “No room, no room….” Everyone else is quiet.)
Knock, knock, knock, went Joseph at the stable door so bright.
Can you shelter a family, for Christ will be born tonight?
"Come in, come in,"said the beasts of Bethlehem. "
Come in, come in,"said the beasts of Bethlehem.
Little Baby in the Manger
Little baby in the manger,
I love you.
Lying there to earth a stranger,
I love you.
Wise men saw the star and answered,
“I love you.”
Shepherds heard the angels singing,
“I love you”
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Thursday, December 9
After freezing temperatures all week long, it was nice to be able to get a few minutes outside today. We made sure we were well-bundled up! As the cold weather continues, remember that our school follows the closing schedule of Savannah-Chatham Public Schools. (Just in case!)
As we prepare for Christmas, we're practicing our songs for next Friday's program and we're busy creating Christmas surprises for our friends and families. Everybody helps out, even our grandparents! (Thanks for all you do for us!)

Tuesday, November 30
Welcome back! We hope that you had a wonderful and family-filled Thanksgiving. It's hard to imagine that the Christmas holiday season is already upon us. Look for the December newsletter in your child's backpack this week. Here are the highlights!
Inclement Weather
As we approach the time of year when temperatures might dip below freezing (!!!) just a reminder that if Savannah-Chatham public schools close because of bad weather, we also close.Christmas Week Information
Classes will have their Christmas parties on Wednesday or Thursday (12/15 or 12/16) depending on attendance days. Keep your eyes open for more information from your child’s teacher and/or room mother.
Christmas Program
Our school Christmas program will be on Friday, December 17th , at 9:30 in the Sanctuary. All of our children will participate in the performance. Siblings attending WIPP dress as angels with light colored clothing, a halo and/or wings. More details on individual class “costumes” will follow from your child’s teacher. Everyone is invited to join us for cookies and punch afterward in Fellowship Hall. We’d like to do a school-wide cookie sharing this year. As your family does their holiday cookie baking, would you please make an extra dozen to send to school? See the bottom of the newsletter sent home for the form to return with your child.
A Peek Ahead at January
- We return to school on Tuesday, January 4th.
- No school on Monday, January 17th. (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day)
- No school for students on Friday, January 28th. (Parent/teacher conferences)
W.I.P.P. CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE EXCHANGE
As you start your holiday baking, please make an extra dozen of your favorite cookies and send them to school on a disposable plate (paper or plastic) along with one copy of the recipe. If you’d like to include your name, that would be great, but we’ll accept anonymous donations! These can be sent to school during the week of December 13th and we’ll store them until our program on Friday morning. Tuesday, November 23, 2010

An update on our food drive for Second Harvest...
As you can see by the photo above, we far exceeded our donation goal! Thank you for your generosity.
Tuesday, November 23, is Grandparents' Day. We're all still busily preparing for this special day: making our costumes, practicing our songs, and finishing our gifts. Here you see one of our two-year-old classes strutting their stuff as they try on their turkey hats. If you have any questions about the Grandparents' Day program, please ask your child's teacher or email me at kpecic@gmail.com.

Thank you for contributing so generously to our food drive for Second Harvest. Our donations have overflowed our barrel and there are still two days remaining! Our students are learning firsthand how wonderful it is to share with others during the Thanksgiving season.
All of our classes are busily preparing for our Grandparents' Day program this coming Tuesday. We have turkeys, Pilgrims, and Native Americans all ready to strut their stuff! If you'd like a preview of some of our songs, check the earlier post and sing along.

Monday. November 8
Today we were happy to welcome Mr. Richard Young from the Georgia Accrediting Commission. He took a tour of our building and grounds, looked at our records, and interviewed our director before confirming that we again qualified as an Accredited with Quality Georgia Preschool! If you come by the school through the office entrance, look to the left to see our certificate.
