Thanksgiving

This week our theme was “Thanksgiving”.  The children made turkeys and worked on shapes, position words, patterns, colors and name printing.  We learned about the number 4 and our letter for the week was Tt.

Next week our theme will continue to be “Thanksgiving”.  We will enjoy a special Thanksgiving snack, play games and use our “Cute Pictures” from home for a special project!  (This is a short week so I won’t be sending another classroom newsletter home next week).  When class resumes after Thanksgiving break our theme will be “Cookies & Christmas Trees”.  Our letter of the week will be Cc and we will learn about the number 5.
