Christmas

I hope that everyone has enjoyed seeing all of the projects coming home that our students have been making for the last two weeks! They had a lot of fun creating them and were really excited to wrap up your gifts for Christmas. 

Thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas programs! The kids have been practicing very hard on their songs since the start of November. I think they did an amazing job for their first big performance of their school years ahead of them. 

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that you enjoy the holiday break with your family and friends.

Cookies and Christmas Trees

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Last week there were several turkey and fall projects sent home. I hope you enjoyed seeing what your students are accomplishing while they are here!! 

This week our theme is "Cookies and Christmas Trees". We will be focusing on the letter Cc and the number 10. We talked about cookie decorating and read a story about a gingerbread bear. We decorated our very own gingerbread man with lots of sparkly things. We also made a book about cookies that were all sorts of shapes. 

The next two weeks will be the theme "Christmas". We will also focus on the letter Ii. We will be making special "secret" projects for the upcoming holiday.
