my house, your house theme

We have been enjoying learning about homes this December! We have learned about birds and their nests. The kids made the cutest nests! We made some great fox masks when we learned about foxes. And some fun fish bowls. Today we made snakes! and worked on our pattern making with the designs on the snakes.

We have also been talking about Christmas and made some fun reindeer and a cute little Santa. They are so excited about Christmas!

We have finished learning about our straight letters. So far we have learned k, l, t, v, w, x, y, and, z. Today we finished our circle letters c, and o. Now we will be combining those skills into circle and line letters. Starting with A, a on Monday!

I hope the kids have been enjoying the Baggie books! Remember its mostly pre-reading skills right now and learning to be responsible for things. Please please please do not let your child color in the books, get them wet, or bend them. Take care of them. They seem to be taking on some serious wear this year. The whole class shares a set, so remember to bring them on Monday's. if your child doesn't bring their book back, it makes another child have to wait to borrow it. I will try to switch them out on Mondays if I don't get to them, then they will be sent out on Wednesday.

January calendars were sent out today so hopefully you all got it. Don't forget to check for our field trip, and check when you have snacks. And don't forget we have show and tell every Wednesday. 

they have been so much fun lately!
