Week of 12/10

Hello Sky Room Families!
 
We had another festive week in the Sky Room! We are currently learning all about Christmas. Here are a few highlights of the exciting activities we have been doing this week:
 
Classroom Activities:

• We used glue sticks, tissue paper, glue, and glitter to create individual Earths – as shown on our “Peace on Earth” Holiday bulletin board
• We decorated Christmas trees! Each student painted a tree, then told us how many ornaments they wanted to count out and glue onto their tree. We practiced our counting with this activity, but also focused on our positional words, as we asked the students to place the star on top of the tree. 
• We worked on our Holiday craft for all of you! The students had a great time creating their gifts for you – which will remain a surprise until next week!
• Each student made Gingerbread boys and girls! They had a great time adding accessories to their gingerbread people.

 
Songs We Sang:
 

• “Here Comes Santa Claus"

• “Santa Claus is Coming To Town"
• “Jingle Bells”
• “Feliz Navidad"

 
Books We Read:
 

• Gus the Christmas Star ,by Frank Remkiewicz
• Merry Christmas, from Biscuit, by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
• Corduroy’s Christmas Surprise, by Don Freeman

 
Important Dates:

• December 19th is our Holiday party from 11:15-11:45 am
• MCS will be closed from 12/21/18-1/7/19 for the Holiday break

 
We hope you have a great weekend,

The Sky Room Teachers
