Dear PreK Families,
We have finished the introduction to the uppercase letter using the Fundations Literacy Program. When we return in January, we will be learning the proper formation of Uppercase letters. Many children in our class are practicing writing their names. It is fine to write in all capitals. Just remember, all letters start from the top. Watch your child when he/she writes and remind them to start at the top.
This month we have completed a unit of the winter holidays and gingerbread. It was a lot of fun to read and compare different versions of The Gingerbread Man. One day, we made a gingerbread man, but he ran away from the oven.
We asked Mr. Stephen if he had seen the gingerbread man running around our school. When we return from the break, we will make our own class book about the gingerbread man.
We really enjoyed playing in the snow when we had some on the ground. We will still have children wear full snow gear on cold days when we play out, even if there is not snow. It is more fun to play when we are warm enough.
After the break, we will begin with a unit about winter and animals in winter.
On Wednesday, December 22nd we will have pajama day. Your child does not have to wear pajamas if he or she doesn’t want to do so. If your child does want to wear pj’s please make sure that they are warm enough. And your child needs to still wear shoes. The teachers will provide the class with a special snack for our holiday party.
I hope that you have a fun and relaxing break.
Amy
