Hello Parents! I hope you all enjoyed the much needed long weekend and had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving feast was truly a blessing. The children had such a great time. A gentle reminder that we will still be going outside as long as the weather is above 37 degrees. Please pack your child accordingly.
Important Dates and Reminders:
- Trinity’s Santa breakfast will be this upcoming Saturday 12/3 from 10 am – 12 pm!
- ECC 4 and 5’s Christmas program will be held on Thursday, December 8th. More details to follow!
- If you have any empty cereal boxes, please send them in with your child either Monday or Tuesday of this week.
We will be completing various Christmas presents throughout this month! We will share some sneak peeks on our ClassDojo whenever we can! However, some will be a surprise for Christmas Day! This is a super busy month and we can’t wait to show you all what we have been working on.
This week, we will be learning the letter Ii, review shapes, numbers 1-10 and colors. The focus of this week will be all things Gingerbread! We will be reading the books “Gingerbread Man”, “Gingerbread Baby” and “Gingerbread Friends”. We will compare two using a Venn diagram. We will be creating an open-ended Gingerbread person craft that will allow the children to decorate their Gingerbread person however they see fit! 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 start a new prayer for the month of December. It goes as follows: Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay. Close by me forever and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care and take us to Heaven to live with you there.” This is the ending to our Away in a Manger song we are singing for our Christmas program. Lastly, Mrs. Gonzalez will teach our Jesus curriculum, voyages 13: “Angels Visit Mary”.
