We had a another fabulous week in our pre-k class! We began each day looking for our classroom Elf, Snowflake. He sure is a tricky little elf!
This week we focused on the letter J. We learned that J is a consonant and the sound of J. We practiced the formation of J and did many activities surrounding the letter J. Our favorite J word is JESUS!
We also focused on the number 10 this week in school. We learned the different ways to show the number 10, the word, number, tally marks and the ten frame. The children are doing a wonderful job on counting objects and rote counting. We continue counting forward to our 100 day celebration. We counted and colored Christmas cookies this week and you know that we are now counting down the days until Christmas!
In science, we learned about light. We did a light experiment to see what light could shine through. The children were introduced to some big words-transparent, (light shines through it) translucent (only some light shines through it) and opaque (no light shines through it).
The children were all little angels for our school Mass. They make us all so proud!
We began learning about the season of Advent. We learned that we are waiting for Jesus. We will have a little prayer in our classroom each week as we prepare for the birth of Jesus. We lit the first candle on our Advent wreath this week and sang, Come Lord Jesus.
We are busy decorating, making gifts and preparing for our Christmas concert. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
CHRISTMAS VILLAGE-
We need everyone’s help to make this a fun day.
Each student is asked to contribute to Mrs.
Claus’ Bake Shop! Our class is asked to send in bags of individual pretzels.
Christmas Village will be held in Walker Hall on Friday, December 14th. There will be opportunities for the children to shop for Christmas presents for their families, have them wrapped and to enjoy some special treats. There is even a rumor that a special visitor in a red suit may make an appearance.
Students may dress up in holiday colors for this special day! (No school uniforms)
The Christmas Season is quickly approaching and we wanted to make you aware of the Pre-K Christmas dates so you can mark your calendar.
December 14- Christmas Village- The children will
shop for Christmas gifts for their families.
Thursday, December 20- Pre-K Christmas Concert at 9:30. Parents and grandparents are invited to attend. More information coming soon.
December 20- Classroom Christmas parties in the
afternoon.
Friday, December 21- No School for Pre-K

School Tours and visits- Please spread the word about our wonderful school and pre-K program. Invite your friends to set up a tour and come visit our classrooms. Our school would love to welcome new families!!
*Please label all sweatshirts with your child's name or initials. We are experiencing lost and misplaced sweatshirts. If you have a sweatshirt, that does not belong to your child please return it to school with a note.
We are focusing on a different nursery rhyme each week. This week's nursery rhyme was, Jack Be Nimble. Nursery Rhymes are important for young children because they help develop an ear for our language. Both rhyme and rhythm helps kids hear the sounds and syllables in words which helps them to read.
Please remember to review all work sent home and practice at home with your child. Our working together will ensure your child's success this year!!!
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION- Please send in your box tops to help our class win the Box Top Challenge.
We are so happy to have secret readers each week! The children have loved being surprised! Thank you so much for being a part of our classroom!
Secret Readers- If you are interested in being a secret reader please email me. A secret reader is a secret to the children. The children love having parents come in and surprise them and read to the class. Secret readers must have all of their clearances.
