Run, Run, Run!

Sharing:  There will be no sharing in December.  Sharing will resume in January.
Speech & Language:  This week we will be practicing the initial /s/ sound.  Our craft will be making sailboats and our snack of celery sticks will be contributed by Bodhi.

The Gingerbread Theme Unit:
We are beginning a fun theme unit for the three weeks of December.  We will take a break from our regular routine and have fun with a literature unit revolving around the many versions of The Gingerbread Man story.  There are quite a few variations!  Some of the fun activities will be:
     Comparing and contrasting the stories
     Playing gingerbread themed games with language arts concepts
     A science experiment
     Math concepts such as graphing
     Gingerbread crafts
This will help to get us in the holiday mood and have fun learning too!

We will continue working in our Food Groups books, reading our Let's Find Out magazine, and working in our math journals.  We will also be completing math lessons and experiences with math manipulatives. 

We will be practicing our holiday songs so be sure to put our school-wide holiday program on your calendar.  There will be two performances on Friday, December 18th and we have an early dismissal at 12:40 that day.

Please be on the lookout for information from our Room Moms about special December celebrations in Room K!
