Speech & Language:  This week we will practice the blend of /sn/.  We will play a game called "Pass the Snowball."  Our snack of "berries in the snow" (berries with powdered sugar) will be provided by Harper!

There will be no sharing this week.

Our school holiday program will be this Friday in the auditorium, with two shows at 8:30 with another show at 11:00. Be sure to arrive early to get a good seat for this favorite show!  Friday will be a minimum day with one break for brunch in between the two shows.

This week we will meet Mr. M who has a munchy mouth.  We will practice writing M as well as practicing the sound of the letter and words that begin with that sound.

We continue our gingerbread activities and holiday activities this week culminating with our Holiday Party complete with cookie decorating, Thursday after lunch!  We will make decorations, work in our gingerbread journal, participate in gingerbread math activities, gathering data and making a graph and conduct a gingerbread science experiment.  We will also read many stories about all of the holidays of lights that we recognize and celebrate at this time of year.

As we prepare to take our winter break, we wish all of our Room K families a wonderful holiday season of giving, sharing and love.  I hope you take time to read, snuggle, enjoy each other and cherish the joy you can create with family and friends.
Best wishes,
Mrs. W
