Hello Parents! It has been a long winter break but much needed! I hope everyone got some rest, had a wonderful Christmas and is ready for the New Year.
Upcoming Dates & Reminders:

We are going back to our Big Day for Pre-K curriculum and starting theme 4 “Awesome Animals”, week 1 titled “All Kinds of Animals!”. BIG IDEA: I live in a world full of animals. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about life science through the exploration of animals and animal life cycles. Social-Emotional Focus: Attention. The theme vocabulary words include: animal, climb, feathers, fly, fur, scales, shell, slither and swim. Math vocabulary words include: height, length and order.
We will be learning the letter Ll, number 11 and continue to review shapes and colors. We will be reading the books “Biggest, Strongest, Fastest”, “Big Earth, Little Me”, “Roar! A Noisy Counting Book”, “Is Your Mama a Llama?”, and “Chicken Soup with Rice”. To go along with the book “Chicken Soup with Rice”, we will be asking for a volunteer to send in chicken soup with rice for our class to enjoy this upcoming Friday! More information will be posted on our ClassDojo. Lastly, we will recap this short week in our weekly journals.
Our focus this week will be all things snow and snowmen! We will create two projects regarding snowmen- one for our community wall and one for our main wall! Pictures will be displayed via ClassDojo.
For Jesus time, Mrs. Gonzalez will teach the children the story of The Three Wise Men and the story of Epiphany.
