Hello Parents! It was wonderful to see so many families at the Santa breakfast this weekend! I hope you all enjoyed your time as much as I did! Christmas is right around the corner and that means so is all of our Holiday festivities! This week is our holiday theme week so please refer back to our Classdojo to see what the theme is for each day.

Important Dates and Reminders:

  1. Pre-K Dress Rehearsal – December 16th (practice for our Christmas Program)
  2. Pre-K Christmas Program – December 18th at 9:30 am (more information to come)
  3. Christmas Break – Last day of school on December 20th and we return on January 6th

We are going to continue getting into the holiday spirit by reading various holiday books such as “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer” and “Snowmen at Christmas”. This Sunday is the second night of Advent. We will be “lighting” our second advent candle in school which symbolizes Peace. We have already discussed the meaning of this candle and we will discuss the third advent candle this week in preparation for next Sunday.

We will be learning the letter Kk and continue to review numbers 1-10, colors and shapes. We will be reading two different Reindeer books as well as some about Snowmen! We will continue finishing up all of our Christmas presents we are creating. They will be presents the children can give to their families on Christmas day! 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 Mary and Joseph and their journey to Bethlehem. She will also discuss how Jesus was born.
