Week of 12/10

Dear Honey Bear Room Parents,

The Honey Bears have been busy preparing for the winter holidays.  They can’t wait to celebrate.  We hope you are all having fun getting ready for the holiday season. 
 
Theme This Week:

• This week we focused on Christmas.
• Our letter of the week was O.

 
Books We Read:

• Bear Stays Up for Christmas, by Karma Wilson
• Clifford’s Christmas ,by Norman Bridwell
• Mouse’s First Christmas, by Lauren Thompson

 
Places We Went:

• Our music assembly with Noel.
• Gym 3.

 
Classroom Activities:

• The class did all of their HWOT activities for the letter O.
• We discussed all of the things that remind us of Christmas.  We saw pictures of Santa, Christmas trees, jingle bells and candy cane.
• The Honey Bears practiced making straight lines by bringing Santa’s sleigh to the reindeer. 
• We played a counting game where we had to count how many presents should go in Santa’s stocking.  The children made Christmas trees, Christmas patterns and did a tree decorating sequence story. 
• Our Person of the Week was Brooklyn.  She did a wonderful job talking about her poster.  Then we had a terrific time decorating cupcakes.  There were lots of toppings to choose from and the Honey Bears loved the special treat.  Thanks Brooklyn!
• Next week the letter of the week will be Q and we will just review the winter holidays. 

​Highlights:

• The Honey Bears enjoyed making special holiday cards and gifts for mom and dad. 
• They loved all the sparkly ornaments for our Christmas Trees.

• Thursday, December 20th  – Holiday party in the Honey Bear Room at 11:30.

• Monday, January 7th- return to school after break.
• Monday, January 21st and Tuesday, January 22nd - No school for Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend

 
Have a Terrific Weekend!
