Christmas Trees & Cookies

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 5 and 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.

 Reminders & Updates:                                

*Now that your child is in school it’s a good idea to schedule an eye exam if an eye doctor has not yet seen your child.  Many vision problems go undetected in young children leading to difficulty in school.  

*Gift Exchange:  Your child should bring a $5.00 gift before our party on Dec. 22^nd/23^rd.  Feel free to send your gifts in at any time so we can place them under our tree! 

*Christmas Programs: Held in the library at 9:30 on Dec. 22^nd or Dec. 23^rd.  This is a very important day for your child so please make every effort to attend.  All relatives are welcome, the more the merrier!  You are invited to our classroom after the program for cookies and punch and can take your child home with you at any time.  Please return your permission slips as soon as possible.

*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 and they will be going home early.
