DECEMBER

This is going to be a very busy month in Preschool!!

Letters: "B","G","R"

We are also learning how to properly form numbers 1-10. Along with reviewing patterns we will be playing # games such as "high sticks" and "war." These games help children recognize numbers 1-20 and teach them number value, greater than, less than and equal to. We are also counting, counting, counting! We count when we glue, when we jump. when we clean up.....most children can correctly count to at least 30, some can even count to 100!! That is fantastic.

We will be learning about Bears of all kinds and how some bears get ready for the winter. We will be having a Teddy Bear Picnic on Friday December 11th so remember to bring your favorite bear!

Reading:

Sight Words: I, the, can, see, a, my, in, on, and

We have started separating into small groups to either play high sticks or practice reading, writing, etc. I will be working on each of their own levels for reading as some are more interested than others at this time.

Last but not least, our Christmas Program! Please plan on attending a short Christmas program on Monday, Dec. 21st at 10:15. I will be sending parts home with the children closer to the program. We will be working on this all month and doing many fun activities to prepare for it.
