We are enjoying your children very much. They are having a great
time working and playing together.
The boys and girls are learning to be good listeners at circle time. As
you can see from Parent Visitation Duy, they are like little sponges ready to
absorb everything we give them. It is amaz\nghow many new things they
have learned this vear.
December is a short month. So much to do and not enough time. We
will be busy little elves making some very special holiday crafts and
surprises for mom and dad. The Teddy Bear Tea is a special day that puts a
smile on all their sweet little faces. We will continue to work on
strengthening our fine motor skills, and fine tune our listening skills.
In January we will learn about the changes the weather brings and
how animals prepare for the long cold winter. The cold weather brings new
challenges for the children - hat, gloves, and heavy winter jackets. Please
help your child learrt to put his/her jacket on and learn to zip it. Don't
forget to label all belongings.
We will continue to refine our fine motor skills by cutting and making
sure we have proper placement of fingers in the scissors (thumb in the small
hole, 2 or 3 fingers in the larger hole). The big challenge is opening and
shutting them and cutting on a specific line. A good practice exercise to do
at home is to snip the ends of old paper and cut coupons.
Please encourage your child to write their name with a capital letter
first then lower case letters, ex. Debby. Pay close attention to proper pencil
or crayon grip. The boys and girls are doing a greatjob and working hard.
will continue our work with rhyming words, opposites, and
working with numbers 1 - 10. We will also begin to introduce the alphabet.
We will be very busy!

We would like to thank you for all the support you have shown us.
We appreciate your generosity when asked to send things in. We wish you
all a Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year!

Your children have made great progress. They are sharing, taking
turns, sitting during rugtime, and being kind to their friends.
We continue to work on cutting and gluing. If you have children's
scissors at home, it would help if you let your child cut out coupons or
pieces of paper. Remember their thumb goes in the small hole and 2 fingers
in the large one cutting with their thumb up.
December will be a busy month. We will have our Teddy Bear Tea
and Christmas Party. The children will be making many Christmas crafts
and a special gift for the parents.
In January we will be working on identifuing and tracing their names,
counting, cutting and identifuing colors and shapes. We will also learn
about the winter season and how animals and humans handle it.
We would like to thank you for all of your help and support and hope
you have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! Once
again, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact
me.

I can't believe December is here already! It was great to see you all
during Parent Visitation Day and hope you enjoyed our rugtime routine. It
is a small part of what we do in class.
Your children have come a long way since September. They are
sharing with their friends, sitting and listening during rugtime and being
kind to their friends. We are working on recognizingtheir names, tracing
names, cutting, counting and recognizing colors and shapes. If you have
children's scissors at home, it would help if they could cut out coupons or
draw a line on paper and have them cut on the line. Remember they need to
place their thumb in the small hole and 2 fingers in the large one cutting
with their thumb up.
December will be very busy. We will be creating many Christmas
projects and a special gift for the parents. We also have our Teddy Bear Tea
and our Christmas Party.

In the month of November, the children shared photos of their
families and we talked about how families are all different. We talked about
how Thanksgiving means "Giving Thanks" and the children shared what
they were thankful for and where they would be having Thanksgiving
dinner. The children really enjoyed preparing for our feast. We made
turkeys, headbands, placemats and necklaces using our handprints and the
shape square. Thank you to our parents and grandparents who came in for
Parent Visitation Day and helped make our Native American necklaces.
The children looked great at our feast and they had a wonderful time. We
also want to thank all the parent volunteers for sending in items for our feast
and to the parents who came in to prepare the food. We really appreciated
your time.
December will be full of activity. We will be singing songs and
finger plays, making many crafts and decorating our room so it will look
great for our Teddy Bear Tea. Mrs Claus will be stopping by for a visit, so
please remember thatyour child needs to bring in their favorite teddy bear
or stuffed animal on Teddy Bear Tea Day. Some of the subjects we will talk
about at circle time are the Nativity, Giving, Santa Claus and Rudolph. We
will continue to have fun with colors, opposites, same and different,
patterns, rhyming words, numbers and the shape star. We will also keep
practicing the writing of our names and the names of all the letters in our
names (in and out of order, forwards and backwards) and working on our
writing, coloring, gluing and scissors skills using the correct grip. We will
be sending home more H.W. (homework) papers. Please have your child do
these "the best that they can" and return paper to school.

In January we will have white day,talk about winter and all the
changes it brings, hibernation and the shape rectangle. V/e will also start
the review of our alphabet.
In the month of December we would like to ask you to please send in
a canned good or nonperishable item into school. We will be taking these
over to the Church's food locker, where the food is given to families that are
in need.
We want to wish you and your families Happy Holidays!
