Welcome Back!

The students will have an opportunity to add to their binder by creating a picture of their favorite thing they did or ate over the Thanksgiving break and writing a story about it. We love to scribe what they are telling us as their stories are very sweet.

This week we will be reading The Mitten, a Hungarian folk tale, as we begin our study on Clothing. The housekeeping area will be set up for sorting  and washing the laundry.  Using clothes pins to hang up laundry will help strengthen fine motor skills. For art we will paint our hands white and place them onto mittens.  For those students who are able to use scissors we will encourage them to cut out their own mittens.  Math is sorting and our letters are Y and Z.  By the end of the week the students will be able to retell the story of The Mitten using paper manipulatives.

We will begin to practice our songs for the Holiday concert this week.  A reminder that when the reservations for seats is sent out, please return them ASAP as requests for seats go very quickly.
