This week...
*We have gone through all 26 letters of the alphabet learning the sounds, actions, and names of each! But we are not done! Oh no! We will keep coming back to them. We will be reviewing two a day and then three! Next week we will be having a reindeer help us with our letters. Stay tuned for pictures of that!
*We circled back to "estimation" this week with a different activity. In November we estimated how many pumpkins tall we were and measured ourselves. This week we estimated how many Christmas ornaments tall we were and measured. I noticed this time around that the estimations were a bit more accurate and close to their actual height. We are growing in our estimation!
*We also worked on our names. We practiced writing them by creating a Christmas tree. Each "branch" of the tree was one of their letters in their name and they built the tree. Everyone worked so so hard on writing their letters! They will be on display in the hallway and then come home.
*We heard many different versions of the Christmas Story and talked about what was the same in each of them. Then we got to play with my own children's Nativity set and replay with story with the Little People.
Next week...
VERY IMPORTANT On Wednesday we ride the bus to the Community Center for our concert practice. We board the bus at 8:20. Your child needs to be here at 8:10 so we can use the restroom and get on the bus at 8:15. We will be there until 9:15 and come back.
*The concert is Wednesday. Please have your child to the Community Center by 6:10. We will be at the back of the stage. After their songs are done, the lights will come up and you will need to make your way down to the stage and personally pick up your child. I will need you to make contact with Ms. Flor or myself before we release your child to you. Thank you!
*We will get to play with gingerbread playdo next week and experience those scents.
*We have our second Ag in the Classroom with Ms. Diane on Monday.
*Miss Jo will be coming on Thursday to read to us.
