Holiday Dress Up Week
We are the ending this year with a fun week of dressing up.
Of course this is optional and we understand that some children
are more comfortable wearing their every day clothing to school.
That is perfectly fine.
Monday, Dec. 18th - Christmas PJ Day
Tuesday, Dec.19th - Santa and Mrs. Claus Day
Wednesday, Dec. 20th - Elf/Nutcracker Day
Thursday, Dec. 21st - Grinch Day
Friday, Dec. 22nd - Ugly Sweater Day
We will continue reading different versions of the Gingerbread Boy
and comparing characters and ending.
Here are some versions we have read so far
The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aytesworth
The Gingerbread Boy by Paul Galdone
The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Ernst
The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett
The Gingerbread Friends by Jan Brett
The children did a wonderful job making predictions about what might happen next.
They are really learning how to take a story and expand their understanding.
Feel free to look up these stories online or at your library and discuss them with your child.
We also learned about Friends of 10.
These are the pairings of numbers that add together to make 10.
There are some great songs on youtube that will help your child become
familiar with this import math concept.
Grinch Party Thursday Dec 21
11-12
We still need one more table volunteer and a couple more snack donations.
This is the last blog of this calendar year.
I wish you all a safe and relaxing holiday season.
I look forward to see all of you in the new year.
I will not be reachable over break but will be responding to all email on January 7th.
If you have anything that you would like to share with me that has happened over
break feel free to email me and I will contact you if needed on that Sunday.
Sometimes the transition back to school after a long break can be a little rocky.
We understand that and will be giving all the needed extra hugs.
