Happy Holidays! This week in preschool, our student teacher, Mrs. Gilberti began to take over some of the activities during our day. She set up some fantastic centers last week that the kids loved participating in. They decorated trees, wrapped presents, made holiday cards, and counted bows on boxes of presents. This week she is continuing her theme and extending it to winter holidays and snowy weather. These themes will continue through Wednesday of next week.
We practiced writing letter “C” this week, and the children love trying to find the letters around the room- literacy is all around us, and they are picking up more every day.
We have a new student, Lainee Henry, who will start school after our Christmas break on January 4th. I will send home an updated class list attached in January.
Please see the note about our holiday party next week, and let us know if you can attend/help. We will have our regular morning until 10:00, when parents are invited to attend. At 11:00, you can take your child home with you.
There will not be a Friday newsletter next week, as we have a short week for the holiday. I hope everyone has a fantastic, restful, safe holiday season. See you in 2010!

The weeks seem to be going by faster and faster as this year goes on! We began a unit on “Winter Holidays” to kick off this upcoming season. We introduced our new month, December, by tracing and practicing the letter “D.” We made scented gingerbread cookies and colored gingerbread houses.
We joined second grade on Thursday to create a bulletin board with holiday lights to tell when we feel we shine our brightest. The children came up with some great ideas of things that they thought they did well. We are bringing home our “Thankful Quilts” that we did last month with second grade which were displayed on the board throughout Thanksgiving.
Next week, we’ll continue by making candy canes with a red/white pattern, creating trees using shapes, and work on the letter “C.”
I am hoping to have a small holiday party on Wednesday, December 23rd from 10:00-11:00. Let me know if you have any ideas for crafts or activities that you would like to share. I am planning to have 3-4 activity stations set up like we did for our Halloween party.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
