Cookies and Christmas Trees

This week our theme was "Cookies and Christmas Trees." We read about gingerbread men and talked about how trees can be decorated for Christmas. We made a shape cookie book, decorated gingerbread people, drew pictures of trees, and practiced our Christmas songs. We also learned about the letter Cc and the number 4. 

The next three weeks our theme will be Christmas! We will be making all sorts of wonderful projects and gifts for family and friends. We will also be talking about the letter Ii and number 5 next week. 

Reminders:
--We will be doing a $5 gift exchange in our class the morning before our Christmas program. A girl brings a gift for a girl and a boy brings a gift for a boy. If this will be a hardship for your family this year, please let me know as soon as possible. 
--Please be sure to send back the bottom portion of the Christmas Program invite so we can make arrangements for students after the program. Most students go home with someone following the program, but it is not required. There will be no academic instruction that day. 
--Our December family event is Friday the 9th for those who signed up. Be sure to bring a container to take your cookies home in.
