We came back from our Thanksgiving Weekend to this amazing piece of mail!!!
We have some incredible but not too surprising news...
All of our little PreK-3 sweethearts made it onto Santa's NICE List!!!!
And we got a very special letter from Santa too!! What a wonderful surprise!
Ask your little sweetheart all about it!
(ssshhh!!! A great big thank you to Mrs. F. for all of her behind the scenes work to make this possible!)
We loved making our reindeer and asking Santa for a (well deserved) Christmas gift!
We love learning about Baby Jesus' Birthday!
We worked on our beautiful Winter Trees! They are now on display in our classroom!
Paint and Glitter are the BEST!
We also painted and GLITTERED our 3D shining stars!
They are now sparkling up our classroom sky!
ssshhhhh!!!!! Don't ask too many questions about these... They are part of a special surprise!
I is for Icky Insects!
Our adorable angels are now on display in our Learning Center Hallway Gallery!
Glitter, Glitter, Glitter!!!!!
i is for iguana!
We learned about igloos too! Ask your little scientists about some interesting igloo facts!
Weekly Recap: Who knew we had so many kind little angels in our class?!? Our gifts of kindness box is really filling up quickly! Thank you for participating at home as well. Please keep the slips coming throughout the Advent season! We learned something new about our little artists this week... THEY ALL LOVE GLITTER!!!!! (They had no idea that we were working on their fine motor development as they glittered the days away!)
We had fun learning letter Ii and cool facts about insects, iguanas and igloos! And as if on cue, Mother Nature sent us snow flurries for us right before we made our Winter Trees!!!
A Sneak Peek at Our Upcoming Week: This upcoming week is going to be equally messy and fun as last week! Be sure to ask your little artist all about his/her mystery stains on their clothes and hands. We do our best to clean up after all our fun, but some things are a little harder to remove than others so please continue to dress your child in washable play clothes during our regular school days, especially this week... We will be reading lots of Christmas books, practicing our songs, learning different versions of The Gingerbread Man, working on letter Jj and number 4 among many other things!
Christmas Show: We are so excited for our Show on December 10th! PreK-3 will perform at 5:00pm so please arrive between 4:45 and 5:00. We will begin promptly at 5:00 to allow enough time between our show and PreK-4's performance. Our show will be short but very sweet. Our little carolers can't wait to sing our songs for you!! Attendance at our performance is of course completely optional but kindly let me know if your family chooses not to attend. Also, in the event of inclement weather, we will communicate a rain/snow date as soon as possible.
