Week of 12/10

Dear Koala Room Families,

We had another fun-filled week in the Koala Room! We are currently learning about the different holidays celebrated during this time of the year. Here are a few highlights of the exciting activities we have been doing this week:
 
Theme:

• The Koala Room learned about Christmas

 
 
Books We Read:

• Christmas Mice!, by Bethany Roberts
• Christmas, by Marci C. Schuh
• The Gingerbread Man, by Jim Aylesworth
• Clifford's Christmas, by Norman Bridwell
• Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too, by Eric Carle

 
 
Centers:

• We used cotton balls, stickers and colorful paper to make Christmas stockings
• We practiced our counting with “Fishing for Numbers” game
• We had  motor fun with “Loop and Learn” to develop fine motor bands
• We build a ginger bread house - we had so much fun building the house together!
• We played sorting game with farm animals
• The children were excited to do a science project with paint – mixing colors is fun!

 
 
Highlights:

• We finished working on our Winter Benefit auction project - all the Koala Room children worked super hard to make it so beautiful!

 
 
Something Fun we Did:

• We went to our monthly Musical Assembly!
• The weather wasn’t too cold, so we had a chance to go to the roof.

 
 
Letter of The Week:

• Our letter of the week was the letter “O”
• The Koala Bears made a chart of all the “O” words they know and made the letter “O” out of play dough

 
 
Looking Forward To:

• Thursday, 12/20/18 - holiday party in the Koala Room at 11:45 am

 
Have a Great Weekend!
