Merry Christmas!

In the month of December we will learn the letters M, N, and O.  

We will learn about Christmas around the World, and complete a fun Gingerbread Man unit.

In math the children will be learning to count by 10’s.  We will continue to work on patterns, and simple addition.

In science we will be talking about snowflakes and how they are made and what they look like magnified.  We will talk a little about the water cycle.

In reading we will continue to talk about sequencing, conflict, and conflict resolution (the problem and how it is solved).  A great at home activity would be to ask your child (after you have read a book together) to tell you what happened in the beginning of the book, what happened in the middle, and at the end.

On Thursday and Friday, Dec. 19 and 20 each class will have a Polar Express party.  They can wear pajamas to school and at the party we will have a gift exchange.  If you have a boy, please bring a $5 gift for a boy.  If you have a girl, please bring a $5 gift for a girl.  We will also be decorating Gingerbread boy and girl cookies, reading some Christmas stories and drinking some hot chocolate.

Now is a great time to start saving rectangular boxes (kleenex boxes, or shoe boxes) for Valentine Card Boxes that we will make in February.

Thank you for all you do!!
