Christmas

This week our theme was “Christmas”.  On Monday we had fun playing Christmas games and lacing a candy cane as we enjoyed our last days together before break!  Thank you to everyone for coming to our Christmas program and helping to make this a special day for your child!  I hope you like the gifts we made for you and enjoy your time together over Christmas vacation! 

 When we come back from vacation on Jan. 2^nd our Tuesday, Thursday group will have 1 day of school while our Monday, Wednesday group will not return until Jan. 6^th.  During our first full week our theme will be “Winter Clothes”.  Your child’s completed winter hat (family project) will be added to a classroom book that will be shared with each family.  We will also work on sorting, counting, colors, matching and graphing.

*After the Christmas festivities die down please remember that your child can access the Reading Eggs program (if you have the Internet available to you) from home.  You can also use that time to review and practice any of the Pre-K skills your child may be struggling with.

Christmas

This week our theme was ‘Christmas Trees & Cookies’.  The children made a shape-cookie book, finger-painted a Christmas wreath and created a gingerbread man.  We also worked on counting, 1-to-1 correspondence and we practiced our Christmas songs!  We learned about the number 10 and will be reviewing the numbers again shortly.  Our letter for the week was Cc.  

Next week our theme will be ‘Christmas’.  The children will be working on a variety of Christmas projects this week…most of them are a secret so you will just have to wait and see what we’re up to!  I can mention that we will be making reindeer and Christmas lights.  We will also continue to work on counting, number identification and singing Christmas songs!  Our letter for the week will be Ii.
