First off, I apologize for NOT blogging much this month. We have been extremely busy. Things are winding down just in time to wind back up for YOU at home with your sweet little one.
We have finished our unit on The Elves and The Shoemaker. The kids all loved it. Our next unit is Jingles, poems and other rhymes. We have already begun practicing rhyming words. Try asking your child to make rhyming words at home. We count nonsense words as well as conventional words. Try to stress the end sounds so they don't get confused. For example say tED not Ted. Rhyming is with ending sounds. You might hear Ten as a rhyming word, just remind them of the ED not EN sounds.
Stories and songs with Santa was a blast. I was so excited to see all the new faces and my old favorites too. The children seemed to have great fun. This Tuesday, the 21, we will have our PJ and Polar Express day. All children are invited to stay the whole day to join in on the fun! After that, they are all yours until January 5th.
I will blog once over vacation. I will remind you all of upcoming January events. The biggest news for the children is that Scientist of the week will begin the second week of January. Our first scientist is Samantha W with her dad. We can't wait to start this project.
Until next year, I wish you tons of happiness and love over this holiday season. Be safe and warm. I can't wait to see you all back at school in 2011!!!
God Bless,
Tanya
