Dear PreK Families,
It was a very special day to have the annual WRS School Feast on Tuesday, November 26th. Thank you for all of the applesauce donations.
Last week, we started working on projects related to gingerbread. We have already read several versions of the gingerbread man and we will be making a graph about which story is our favorite this week, including The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesowrth, The Gingerbread Man by Karen Schmidt, The Gingerbread Mouse by Katy Braun, The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett, Gingerbread Friends by Jan Brett, The Gingerbread Girl by Lisa Campbell Ernst, and The Gingerbread Kid Goes to School by Joan Holub. We have played many gingerbread games and done gingerbread crafts. During the first week of December, we built a gingerbread house as a class and donated it to The Family Place for their annual fundraiser. This week, we cooked a gingerbread man in class and he ran away. We had to go and find him in the office. We will make a class book to tell us about our adventure.
We are almost finished with our introduction to uppercase letter names, keywords, and sounds. Next, we will begin writing uppercase letters, and writing numbers 1-10.
On December 20th, we will have a special snack and pajama day. Your child may wear their pajamas to school if they choose to do so. They can also wear regular clothes if they are more comfortable in that. Please make sure to dress in pajamas that will fit under snow gear, because we will still go outside for recess. Thanks for your help!
You will receive your child’s TS Gold progress report before the break.
Thank you,
Amy
