Classroom Activities
 

• This week we started getting back into the swing of school after the long Thanksgiving break. The kids were so excited to share at circle time where they had been, who they visited, and what yummy foods they ate
• Our letter of the week was “U” and we practiced writing it with our Handwriting without tears see and sketch, our curved sticks, and our play dough rolling sets. We also read our Scholastic AlphaTales book, “Umbrellabird’s Umbrella” by Heather Feldman
• In Music Noel started to teach us some holiday songs including “Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel” and “Feliz Navidad”
• We also spent the week working on our new bulletin board for December. We made our very own “snow globes” and put the children into them. They came out so cute! We hope you like the board J

 
Have a great weekend everyone.
