November Meeting Recaps

November 4th - We opened with prayer, ate brunch, and then held our annual silent auction.

November 18th - We opened with prayer and door prizes. After brunch, Kay Solberg from Classroom Connection came to speak about educational games and products that she carries at her store, Classroom Connection. There are so many tools for any type of kid in any developmental stage. Kay demonstrated different games, puzzles and products that serve many different functions at once. Spending time with your children engaged in activities is valuable. Before children enter Kindergarten, they are expected to know the information that they used to learn in Kindergarten. Kay also can order many different products if she doesn't have the item you are looking for in stock. A gift certificate to her store is a great gift for a teacher for Christmas.
We did a tissue paper craft. Tissue paper was folded and tied with a wire and then pulled out to create a flower that can be hung for a party or put on a stick for a party or used as a centerpiece.
