Monthly Updates 

This is a busy month for us here at school!  The classroom is filled with joy and excitement as we prepare for the birth of Jesus and the arrival of Santa Claus.  The Children are hard at work preparing a special surprise that you will enjoy for years to come. We will begin practicing for our Christmas show, the children are very excited to perform for you and any special guests that might be coming.

This month we will be reading many Christmas stories,including The Night Before Christmas, my favorite.  Your child is welcome to bring in their favorite Christmas book, sit with me in the front of the class and read it aloud for all to hear.

We will be discussing family Christmas traditions, decorating Christmas trees and counting Santa’s Christmas cookies.  Rudolph and his friends will be joining us for a fun counting activity and we will be making reindeer food, a special Christmas Eve snack for Santa’s reindeer.     

In religion, we will be discussing the birth of Jesus, the Advent Wreath and we will continue to pray for all people.  Please continue to practice the sign of the cross and our before meal prayer. “Bless us, O Lord, and these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen." ... Amen."  

Please keep reviewing shapes, colors, numbers 0-5 and alphabet letters at home with your child.  Also, continue practicing with crayons, markers, glue and scissors. Next month your child will begin learning how to write their names.
