Letter Jj and number 10

Last week we learned about the letter Jj and number 10 with Jungle Jim the Jellyfish.  We made Jingle Bell Bracelets for our Holiday party.  We had fun jumping, jogging, and even juggling for the letter Jj!

Through the week the children have been practicing their songs and have been making their special Christmas gifts for their families.

This year we were so happy to receive a large cardboard house and all classes have been working together to make it into our very own gingerbread house! All students have had a turn painting the house and have made many candy decorations to decorate the house! 

This week we will be having so much holiday fun reading special books, singing songs, and finishing all our crafts.  This Friday we invite all parents to join us for our holiday party upstairs from 11 to 11:30 AM. The children will be singing five songs with the whole school and then we will have milk and cookies. We hope to see you there!  

Letter Ii and Number 9

During this we we learned about letter Ii with Isabella Inchworm. We learned about inchworms and watch a video about how they move and made inchworm puppets.

Through the week we made small glitter ornaments and had our very own tree lighting in our classroom.  We also made candy canes by painting different patterns. 

We had so much fun with our ice cream cone race outside!

Thanksgiving Feast

Letter Hh& Number 8

Last week we had so much fun learning about letter Hh with Henrietta and Harvey Hippo.  The children enjoyed making a house with the letter Hh and drawing pictures of their own Heads.  Through the week we watched short videos about the first thanksgiving and the lives of the Pilgrims and Indians.  They loved using Q-tips to paint and  make Indian Corn.  Friday, we made place mats, Pilgrim hats, and applesauce for our Thanksgiving Feast.  We also celebrated Jude's 5th birthday and hat day.

This week we are in school only Monday and Tuesday.  On Monday, we will be joining together with all the classes to have a Thanksgiving feast. While together we will be singing songs, participating in a music and movement activity with Ms. Kathleen , listen to a story and have a wonderful feast.  Please remember we are closed from Wednesday through Friday. We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hat Day

This Friday, November 22nd, is Hat Day in celebration for completing letter Hh! Please send your child to school wearing their favorite hat. 

Letter Gg & Number 7

Last week we worked on letter Gg with Gus the Goat and made goat puppets.  Through the week we started discussing Thanksgiving and what it means to be thankful.  During the week the children had many opportunities to share with the class a few things they were thankful for.  We made shape turkey's and wrote on each feather one thing we are thankful for.  On Wednesday we learned about number seven and celebrated Cooper's 5th birthday!  On Friday, we shared our homework and show and tell.   We also read our Scholastic books about being thankful.  In this book we learned a new song and learned how to spell the word "thankful".

This week we will be learning about letter Hh, number eight, and all about the first thanksgiving. On Friday our class will be mixing many different ingredients together to make applesauce to bring to our school Thanksgiving Feast for Monday.  On Monday, next week all classes will be coming together to have a feast.  The four year old classes will be coming to the feast dressed as the Pilgrims and the three year olds dressed as the Indians.  Each class is making one thing to bring to the feast and all other food items will be provided by the teachers.  Please remember we are closed from Wednesday through Friday next week.

***This Friday (Nov. 22nd) is Hat Day for letter H! ***
