Week of December 3-7, 2012

A big welcome to our two new friends, John and Noah! We are so very excited that you are joining our little classroom family.

This week was filled with fun activities that revolved around our letter of the week... S! The boys and girls are doing a fabulous job naming the letters and their sounds. Wow! We have come so far since October! Just think where we will be by May! It makes me so excited.

We also read the big book, "All About Me." We talked each morning about how we are all unique and special. We talked about how we are alike and different. Teaching this age warms my heart because these children have a very hard time finding differences among them. They embrace each other and love each other without boundaries. We can learn so much from young children.

In Math, we are continuing to count 1-20. We are also working on subitizing. This is an important skill that will help them as they progress to more difficult concepts. We have also focused this week on shapes and locating them in our classroom. You wouldn't believe all the shapes we found in our room! They are everywhere!

We also focused on ordering from least to greatest. We made a Christmas tree and we applied this skill! It was a little difficult at first, but before long they all got the hang of it. Way to go class!!

Ask your child to sing some of our new songs. I have gotten my hands on about 10 Dr. Jean CD's and we are LOVING them! I LOVE Dr. Jean. We are learning so much while we sing and dance!
