Winter Clothes

 This week our theme was ‘Winter Clothing’.  The children brought home a mitten memory game to play with their families.  We also used our winter clothing to work on sorting, matching, classifying, graphing, colors and counting!  Our letter for the week was Ww and we learned about the numbers 8 & 9. 

Next week our theme will be ‘Christmas Trees & Cookies’.  The children will make a shape-cookie book, finger-paint a Christmas wreath and create a gingerbread man.  We will also work on counting, 1-to-1 correspondence (touching each object as you count it) and practicing our Christmas songs!  Our letter for the week will be Cc and we will learn about the number 10.

 Reminders & Updates:                                    

*Gift Exchange:  In order to participate in our gift exchange your child needs to bring a $5.00 gift before our party on Dec. 19^th/20^th.  Girls should bring a ‘girl gift’ & boys should bring a ‘boy gift’. 

*Christmas Programs: Held in the library at 9:30 on Dec. 19^th or Dec. 20^th.  This is a very special and exciting day for your child; they have worked hard to prepare for your visit.  Please return the permission slip so you don’t need to sign your child out when taking them home after the program. 

*Your child SHOULD bring their backpack on the date of the x-mas program but will NOT need snow pants or boots, as we will not be going outside.

*Christmas Vacation:  No school Dec. 24^th-Jan. 2^nd.

*Cute Pictures: Some of the children still do not have a picture to use for our project.  Please remember to send one ASAP.
