Sly Fox

November has been a busy month for Mary Catherine!

Mary Catherine and her class performed their first chapel program at All Saints on November 16th. The rainly weather didn't slow down these perky puppies and busy bees. They sang 4 songs. Three songs were about Thanksgiving and one was in Spanish. It was a very impressive program for about 25 three year olds. They were all dressed in their indian vest and head dresses. Mary Catherine's teacher gave all of the Perky Puppies indian names. Mary Catherine's name was SLY FOX! How fitting!?!?! Mary Catherine made her indian vest, it was very interesting. It had lots of glitter (which is her favorite art medium right now). Mommy helped cut out the indian shapes that Mary Catherine picked out. Mary Catherine glued them on the vest and then decorated them with glitter and pens. She was a very sharp dressed indian. The class also made a cornucopia, and a book about the first thanksgiving. Mary Catherine enjoyed learning about the pilgrams and indians. She told us that the pilgrams came to Austrailia on the mayflower boat and they invited the indians to lunch and that was Thanksgiving. We did have to clarify that the pilgrams came to Amercia not Austrailia but other than that, we got that story down pretty good.

Mary Catherine was the star Student in her class the during the week of November 13th-17th. This ment she got to be the line leader, sit on the puppy at circle time, tell the class some special things about herself, take some of her special things to school to show and tell, take a photo of herself to go on the board, and take a special treat to share with her friends at school on Friday. Mary Catherine made and took Oreo Cookie Turkeys. They were so cute and the class loved them. Mary Catherine liked helping make them because she and Mommy ate all of the broken pieces. Candy Corn used for the tail feathers were our favorites. Thought we would share the answers Mary Catherine gave on her star student questionaire with you all. The answers were just too cute! The special things Mary Catherine took to school included: Flo Bunny, Pink Blankie and Boop Boop.

Mary Catherine found a bird nest in the yard this month. She put it in a special box and took it to school for show and tell.

Mary Catherine had her first "date" this month. Her best buddie RJ Lee had an extra ticket to see the Wiggles in Florence. He invited Mary Catherine to join he, his mom (Cathy Lee) and his sister Margaret. Cathy said they were so precious. She said they danced and wiggled all afternoon. RJ got a wiggles shirt like Mary Catherine's so they would match. Mary Catherine took roses for Dorothy. Mary Catherine had a wonderful time. Special thank you to Cathy Lee and Margaret for volunteering to take the kids on such a wonderful outing!

Mary Catherine also became a big sister on Nomember 17th. She is such a big help with baby Ella. She has been enjoying holding her and assisting.
