We will truly miss all of our sweet friends over Christmas break! We had such a fun final week of our fall semester. I cannot believe our school year is already halfway over! We have definitely come a long way since our first day in so many ways... Too many to count! From holding a crayon, to our attention span, to how we interact with our friends, we are growing and learning so quickly!
These past few weeks have been packed with fun! We wrapped up this week with an awesome Christmas party on Friday, as well as lots of Christmas fun on Thursday. Mrs. Nicole and I truly worked to make the focus remain on Jesus. We pray that the scriptures and the story of Jesus' birth will be what remain in their hearts and minds the most... The true reason for all of the celebrations around Christmas. As their teacher, my deepest desire is that they would leave this year knowing and loving Jesus more than when they started.
Our letter for this week was J because J is for Jesus! If you are practicing letters at home, the way we tried to remember the letter J was by turning over a candy cane and talking about how a candy cane reminds us of the love of Jesus. We also continued to review our numbers 1 through 5. We will begin focusing on 6-10 after Christmas break. We also had fun making our reindeer and snowman ornaments! We hope that those can decorate your trees this year and for years to come.
We also had so much fun at the party on Friday! Thank you so much to all of the parents who came to volunteer and help! We are so appreciative. We enjoyed playing Christmas bingo, making another ornament, making reindeer food, and decorating a Nativity scene. We also enjoyed all our yummy snacks of course!
We can't wait to see everyone in two weeks!
Here are some things you can ask your child this week!
Do you remember...
1. The letter J and its sound?
2. The numbers 1 through 5?
3. What a candy cane reminds us of?
4. Who was involved in the story of Jesus' birth?
