Happy Holidays!

This will be my last blog until next year! Today, we worked on a
reindeer project and continued with sounds. We also practiced the
"tricky" numbers (10, 11, 12) and had music practice at the high school.
Tomorrow, we will have reading in the morning, watch Polar Express, and
our party in the afternoon around 1:00. I hope to see everyone at the
concert tonight. Have a wonderful and safe holiday and I will blog again
in 2009!

What hard workers in my room! We finished some more holiday projects and
visited the computer lab. We rode a bus to the high school this morning
for music practice. The program should be wonderful so I hope to see you
there tomorrow night. Have a great day!

Hard Workers

Today we worked hard on gifts for families and some other holiday
projects. We also practiced sounds and visited the library. I hope
everyone had a nice snow-day yesterday!

Today we made gingerbread houses with our reader pals. They will be sent
home today so keep your eyes open for a plastic bag! Also, we reviewed
numbers and shapes in math, completed centers twice, and read Mooseltoe.
Have a great weekend!

Today we read our new take home book, "A Bug, A Duck, and the Frog". The
kids did a great job so be sure to ask your little one to read it to you
at home! We also practiced our holiday songs, made cards for our reader
pals, and practiced the word "half" for awhile in math. Have a great
evening!

Today we continued with our holiday songs and made some holiday
decorations. These decorations will all come home later next week. We
also visited the computer lab and practiced cutting things in "half"
during math.

Today the kids really did a great job on their holiday program music. We
also practiced sounds and numbers. It was library day today so we
checked out our new books. Have a great day!

We worked hard on sounding out small words today. You will see a
worksheet come home about this topic. Remember, the word does not need
to be spelled correctly at this point. I would rather have the kids know
how to sound spell the word. They will have many spelling tests over the
next six years to learn the proper spellings! We also made some holiday
decorations, reviewed shapes and numbers in math, and visited the
computer lab. Have a great day!

Have a Great Weekend!

Today we decorated our tree, which will probably be the one thing your
child remembers about the day! We also worked on sounds, shapes, and
wrote letters to Santa with our reader pals. I sent a copy home for you
to enjoy. Have a great weekend!

We worked hard at sounding out words and writing sentences. We also
practiced shapes and read a Winnie the Pooh story about Christmas. We
are practicing the hippo song for our holiday program. See if your child
can give you a little concert this evening!

Terrific Tuesday

Today we sounded out words such as hat, dog, and cat. We practiced our
three-dimensional shapes and explored how they move (roll, slide, stack,
etc). Some of those shapes are a sphere, cube, cylinder, and cone. We
checked out library books and worked in our centers. Have a great day!

Back to work!

Today, we dove right in with sounds and numbers. We also discussed
three-dimensional shapes (prism, cube, cone, and sphere). We will
continue discussing shapes for the next two weeks. We also made some
holiday wreaths and visited the computer lab. If you have your child's
paper tree decorated (this was sent home last week), please send it in
over the next few days. Thanks!
