December 8 - 12

We are getting closer to Christmas as we continue our classes into December and we are very excited to celebrate Christmas together! We worked very hard on our Christmas speeches, songs, and dances this week so that we are prepared for our Christmas performance next week. For the theme this week we continued to work on Christmas and winter, so we made a few crafts! We made Christmas ornaments, Christmas stockings, and we talked about Santa clause and all the things we hope he'll bring us this year, and all the things we are grateful for. We also watched a short cartoon about Frosty the Snowman and talked about all the fun things we can do in the winter when it snows. We also worked on a number of worksheets in our phonics workbook. This week we focused on the letters n and p. we practiced our vocabulary, spelling, and phonics of many words that begin with the letters and p. We practiced letter recognition for all of the letters of the alphabet with a few activities. We played a board game where we had to recognize the picture and the letter to move forward, we also played go fish and memory to continue our practice. We worked on math and writing this week. We focused on writing that letter m and writing numbers 1, 2 and 3. We completed a number of writing and math worksheets to reinforce our skills. We also read a book together and practiced our sight words as well as our oral, and reading skills. We had a fantastic week of fun learning, and I can't wait to see everyone's faces on Monday morning!
