Week at a Glance

 December 3 

 

Hello Parents, 

 

Here are some of the activities we have been doing in our classroom  this week: 

 

Letter R 

-This week we did  the letter R and the 'r' sound.  Ask your child what words we thought of that begin with 'r'. 

 

Music 

-In Music we kept the beat with Jingle Bells!  We also learned the actions to 'Up on the Housetop' and did an Animal Sounds Warmup.   

 

Comparing Stories 

We read two stories on Wednesday, The Gingerbread Man and The NinjaBread Man. The children were asked to recall events of the story that were either the same or different between the stories. We also had them create their own Gingerbread Man in Art. 

 

 

Traditions 

As part of our Social Studies program, we are studying family culture and traditions. Children are invited to find an object that shows something about their family's culture, traditions or interests in their homes and take a photo of the object to send to their teacher. Each child will have the opportunity to describe the object and tell why it is important in front of the class on Tuesday, December 8.  

Please email the photo to your child's teacher before this date.
