Week 14

December has just begun, but Pre-K has been busy learning about Christmas customs, symbols and traditions.  We learned the letter Ee this week.  Ask your child to tell you something that starts with the  Ee sound.  See if they know both sounds for the letter Ee.

 We reviewed AB patterns and made candy canes with fingerpaint!

                                      Red, white, red,white....
                                           We did a great job!

 We learned about the tradition of the Christmas tree and painted & decorated our own Christmas trees!

                           
 We listened to the story of the Night Before Christmas and made Santa faces with circle and triangle shapes!

                       
 We made candy cane ornaments to hang on our trees at home.  We learned
more difficult patterns like: AAB, ABB, AABB, and ABC!  Look at your child's candy cane pattern and ask them to tell you what pattern they made.

If you haven't seen the Gingerbread girls and boys we made last week, come by and take a look.  They are hanging outside the classroom door. 

Don't forget to turn in your November Book It sheet so your child can get their Pizza Hut certificate for a free personal pizza.  Keep reading all six months and your child will get an award at the end of the year at the Awards ceremony.  December book it sheets are in the folders today!  Sorry for the delay!  Read at least 10 books a month to earn a pizza.

Look for two notes coming home about the Holiday Party on Dec. 18th.
