Hello Parents and happy last full week of school before Christmas break!! Next week we will have a short two day week. I heard that the Santa breakfast was so much fun and Mrs. Maldonado and I can’t wait to see all of the pictures!
Important Dates and Reminders:
- December 18th– ECC 5’s Christmas Program! Up to 6 guests are invited. Please refer back to our Classdojo for more information.
- December 20st – January 1st- Christmas Break! School will resume on January 2nd.
We are going to continue getting into the holiday spirit by reading various holiday books such as “The Story of the Nativity”, “The Night Before Christmas” and “The Polar Express”. 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 Kk and continue to review numbers 1-10, colors and shapes. We will be reading two different “The Night Before Christmas” books and comparing the two! We will continue finishing up all of our Christmas presents we are creating. They will be presents the children can give to their families for Christmas. 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. Maldonado will teach the children about the Shepards. She will also discuss how Jesus was born, the importance of Christmas and why we celebrate.
