Hello Parents! Christmas is right around the corner and that means so is all of our Holiday festivities! I can’t believe our Christmas Program is already here! Where did the time go?! Also, please continue to keep your child home if they are not feeling their best. Even though it may not be Covid, there are symptoms and other virus’ that can still be contagious. We are all in this together!
From what i’ve heard, the Santa breakfast was a success! I can’t wait to see everyone’s pictures and hear all about it.

- We are so grateful for all of the empty cereal boxes that were sent in! If you have any extras, we would love to receive more! The more the better!

We are going to continue getting into the holiday spirit by reading various holiday books such as “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer” and “Snowmen at Christmas”. This Sunday is the second night of Advent. We will be “lighting” our second advent candle in school and discussing what peace means. Please also light your second candle at home!
We will be learning the letter Jj and continue to review numbers 1-10, colors and shapes. We will be reading two different Reindeer books as well as some about Snowmen! We will continue finishing up all of our Christmas presents we are creating. They will be presents the children can give to their families. Lastly, we will recap our week in our weekly Journals.
For music and movement, we will continue practicing our Christmas songs that we will be singing in our Christmas program and follow a festive guided dance using GoNooodle.com.
For Jesus time, we will continue our December prayer which is taken from the last verse in the song Away in a Manger. Mrs. Gonzalez will teach the children about Mary and Joseph and their journey to Bethlehem. She will also discuss how Jesus was born.
