Hello Parents! It is officially hat, glove and scarf weather! I am for sure going to miss the warm sun. We are still going to go outside if the weather permits so please continue to send in the proper attire for your child. Please also continue to fill out the daily attestation upon arrival.

We are going to take a pause from our Big Day curriculum for the month of December. This month we will be getting into the holiday spirit! This Sunday is the first night of Advent! We will be “lighting” our first advent candle in school.

We will be learning the letter Ii and review numbers 1-10, colors and shapes. We will be reading two different Gingerbread stories and compare the two using a Venn diagram. We will create I is for Igloo craft for our ABC book.

We will also start assembling various holiday crafts and gifts that will be send home at the end of December.

For Jesus time, we will start a new December prayer which is taken from the song Away In A Manger. The prayer 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 Thee there.” Lastly, Mrs. Gonzalez will teach the children about the Angels visiting Mary.b
