This is our big week! We have been practicing and practicing and wait until you see the amazing job these children have done at learning all of the Christmas songs for our program on Thursday. Be sure to bring your video camera (am I aging myself??), and tissues. It is sure to be a wonderful show.

This week we will of course be continuing with all things Christmas. It is the second week of Advent so we will “light” the second candle on our classroom Advent wreath and I invite you to do the same with the Advent wreath your child colored and brought home. They can color the second candle on their wreath. We will also read about Jesus being born in the stable and read some Christmas stories including Come and See. 

Our letter for this week is Jj. We will read “Jolly Jogger” and learn a Jj song. We will also make a J is for Jesus craft.

Some other Christmas stories we will read this week will include Snowmen at Christmas, Littlest Christmas Star, and Snowbear’s Christmas Countdown. We will also look at a Christmas Scholastic Weekly Reader.

In math we are continuing to review counting, number recognition, and patterns.

We have also been hard at work making special surprises for mom and dad for Christmas. 

Just a reminder that our program will be on Thursday at 9:30. A sheet went home on Friday indicating 2 tickets per child. During this time of Covid that is all we are able to allow into the chapel for health and safety. Your child may dress up as you would like, and you can send a change of clothes for after the show. You are also welcome to take your child home afterwards if you would like to celebrate since we are unable to have a reception.

Have a wonderful, blessed week!
