More December news...

December is quickly moving!  Here is an update for the last week of school before Christmas break!

We are working on the letter C.  Our new sight words are IS and LIKE.  I hope they are reading their books from their book bag every day!  Practicing sight words is very helpful!

I am attaching a number line.  We were introduced to them this week and I have a number of them so wanted to share with the children.  Please review the numbers (starting with the gray side) our activities with them are to place an object on one number and a different object on a number 2 away (like a penny on a 6 and a quarter on the 8) then ask what number is BETWEEN the 6 and 8.  Or place a penny on a number and ask what is BEFORE or AFTER that number.  These can also be used as number recognition…ask your child to point to the number 3, etc!

Next week Tuesday is our Christmas party in the afternoon.  We have music until 1:40.  When we return to the room we will eat and open presents.  If you have signed up to volunteer, feel free to arrive about 1:30.  Each child brings a gift (spend no more than 3.00-3.50) boys buy a boy gift, girls buy a girl gift.  Please have the gifts here by Monday.

Wednesday we are having pajama day!  Children can either wear or bring their PJ’s to school with a SMALL stuffed animal.  PLEASE have their tennis shoes as we have gym that morning!!  They can bring slippers if they wish. If your child chooses to wear their PJ’s to school, please have a set of clothes in their backpack!
