Winter Clothes

This week our theme was ‘Winter Clothing’.  We used our winter clothing to work on sorting, matching, classifying, graphing, colors and counting!  We played a variety of games to help us work on these skills as well.  Our letter for the week was Ww and our number was 6. 

Next week our theme will be ‘Snowmen & Snow’.  The children will be making snowmen & snowflakes.  We will work together with a partner to create a page for our next classroom book called We Made A Snowman!  We will also work on patterning, matching, counting, 1:1 correspondence (touching & counting each object) and numerical order.  We will learn about the number 7 and our letter for the week will be Ss.

Christmas

Our theme continued to be “Christmas” this week.  We played Christmas games, laced a candy cane, made a snowman, painted a winter scene and made an ornament.  Next week on the 22^nd & 23^rd each class will have a Christmas party right away in the morning (please be sure your child has brought a gift so they can participate in the gift exchange).  Our Christmas program will be held in the library at 9:30.  Thank you in advance for helping us make this a special day!  After the program you are invited back to the classroom for cookies, punch and a special Christmas surprise!  You are welcome to take your child home at any time following the program.  You child will need their backpacks but not their snow pants/outside gear. 

 

 When we come back from vacation on Jan. 5^th our theme will be “Winter Clothes”.  Your child’s completed winter hat (upcoming 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.  Our letter for the week will be Ww and we will learn about the number 6.
