Please remember to bring your child's exhibition journal to your scheduled learning team meeting.  Also, we will discussing your child's second exhibition. Our next theme will be Famous/Influential African Americans.  The individuals chosen will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis.  Please have 2-3 people selected in case your first choice has already been assigned.  If you would like to reserve a person, you may email me at skefgen@uprep.com

Thank you!  I am really looking forward to seeing the first exhibitions of 1st grade.  Good luck! 

Class Pride

I am adding a new element to our blog called Class Pride.  Here, I will post any photos or exciting events that the children are doing outside of school!  If you have any pictures or stories about your children you would like to share, please email them to me at skefgen@uprep.com     Thank you!

This week, Reigna's family shared this photo of Reigna holding her new cheerleading trophy.  Reigna was recently a cheerleader for the Think Detroit Police Athletic League Broncos "D" Team!  Congratulations, Reigna!  Our class is so proud of you!

Our Thanksgiving Feast!

On Monday, Nov. 22, Lighthouse Village enjoyed our very own Thanksgiving feast!  Each class brought food to share, and the children ate together as a "family"!  It was a very special time for us, as it was a way to show how thankful we are for our friends.  Here are some of the pictures from our extravaganza!

                                             Here are the lunch tables decorated for the feast.

Here is some of the amazing food our families brought to share.

Mmmm, we loved all the different foods!

For decorations, Ms. Seiklay made turkeys out of pine cones with the kindergarteners!

After we ate, Ms. Ritter led us in singing some of our favorite Thanksgiving songs!

After eating, Coach Marbry led us in some fun exercises to stay healthy!

We had so much fun!  A HUGE thank you goes to all the families who donated food for our celebration.  Also, a special thank you to Mrs. Booker, Mrs. Christian, Mrs. Lewis and Ms. Smith for all their help during the feast!  We are all so thankful for our families!

Happy Thanksgiving from Mr. Kefgen's 1st Grade Class!



Bagel Sale

This Wednesday, Nov. 24, Mr. Curran's class will be selling bagels before school.  This sale will benefit their class's first philanthropy project of the year.  Proceeds will be going to an individual in the Philippines who is trying to start a business.  The cost is $1.50, which includes a bagel, cream cheese and juice.  The sale will be held in the hallway in front of the gym before school.  Stop by if you are hungry or just want to donate!

"Dressing" for Thanksgiving

This Monday will be the Lighthouse Thanksgiving feast!  If you and your child would like, they may come in "dressy free dress" that day.  This means that they may dress up for the holiday!  If your child chooses not to dress up, please send them in uniform.  Also, please do not send your child to school in jeans or sweats.  Thank you!

We are all 6 now!

Today, Kameron shared a very special day with us - his 6th birthday!  It's official...we have a complete class set of  6 year olds!  Here are some pictures of Kameron wearing the birthday vest and our class joining him in his birthday celebration.

Here is Kameron showing us his serious DJ pose!

Kameron was joined by his mom, brother Jaiden, aunt and uncle.

Here is the proud mom of a new 6 year old!  (Jaiden just turned 8 a few weeks ago too!)

Happy birthday DJ Kameron!
