Preschool December 2013 Newsletter


It was very nice seeing most of you all again at the Parent Teacher Conferences.  Thank you for coming and discussing your child’s progress with me!  We have been practicing hard for our upcoming Christmas concert and your children have done a great job learning their song and dance.  If you have not already done so, please send in black pants and a white shirt for boys and white tights/leggings and a white shirt for girls for the concert. If this is going to be a problem, please let me know and we can work something out!  We have started our first project on maps and each week will we continue to do hands on learning with different map types.  Since most children have learned all of their uppercase letters we will also be concentrating more on lower case letters so that we can move onto word reading in February.

Class Updates
We have started our Christmas and winter art projects off with winter jackets.  Each of your children made one that was completely unique and their own.  We have also welcomed a new student, Jake, into our classroom.  Jules and Aston have done an outstanding job with our Christmas song and know all of the words by heart.  Kai did a wonderful job picture reading a book in front of the whole class.  Ann, Lisa, and Nanding have been “washing” my hair during playtime a lot and helping to fix it.  Riku, Lisa, and Ann also make cookies using our coins and blocks.  Lucas and Aston both have explained all about their favourite superheroes and the reasons why they like certain superheroes to me.  Jules and Riku have made great progress with writing their names over the past weeks and their handwriting is improving daily.  Kai really enjoys the I Spy books and Jules, Lucas, and Aston are greatly enjoying the new superhero easy reader books. 
During December we will be focusing on the letters R, M, and D.  We will also be working on types of punctuation, sounds in words, and plurals! We also have many Christmas books and art projects this month!
