Happy December! We hope everyone had a wonderful (and restful) Thanksgiving break. The year is really flying by! The boys and girls have been very busy in the classroom this week, and are already looking forward to the next holiday coming up...Christmas!
In Language Arts, the students have been hard at work. The kindergarteners created their very own graphic organizers detailing important points in the story, Oh, What a Christmas. They have also been practicing new sight words, as well as words from the -at word family (cat, bat, rat, mat, etc.). The boys and girls started making some Christmas books, and sounded out some holiday vocabulary with sticker spelling!
In Math, the students have been working on writing and ordering numbers through ten. They even ordered numbers one to twenty-five and created Advent chains for the month of December to countdown until Christmas. You can tear the chain link for each day, and help your child read the scripture verse!
The students have been learning about the nativity story in Religion, and made some mini books detailing the important events leading up to the birth of Jesus. This is perfect timing for the upcoming Christmas Program on the evening of December 13, "The Three Wise Men". The kindergarteners will be singing the song, "An Angel Came from Heaven". We have already started practicing the song in the classroom, and they are all so excited to be part of the show with the rest of the school!
It is truly an exciting time of year, and we are so happy to be sharing the joy with your children! Have a great weekend!
