December Note from Ms. Cathy
Preschool From Ms. Cathy:
Dear Parents,
One more day and we’re off until January 6th. I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas with family. I told your children that I would really miss them during our break and they told me it would be ok and they could come in to give me a hug to help me feel better. 🙂
Highlights from December include:
pattern bead bracelets
pattern link chain
group Christmas tree in hallway
red and green gak
rice and nativity scene in sensory bin
earning puff balls for good behavior (a puff ball party is the reward!)
gingerbread man “run run as fast as you can” picture
paper plate wreath
Rudolph ornament (or door knob hanger)
crazy play in refrigerator box
silly elves changed water color in sensory tub from red to green during the night!
letter I “inside out day”
letter I “I is for ice cream” picture with number of scoops
scissors and evergreen branches in sensory tub – lots of cutting (thank you Ning)
candy cane pattern painting at easel
red Christmas playdough (thank you Lauryn)
A/B and AA/BB patterns during circle time with Christmas trees and gingerbread men
birthday party for Jesus (thank you Lisa, and also for reading a “J” book to us)
wrapping station (thank you Jason, Lauryn, Kelly, Nylah and Jen)
preschool sing-a-long (thank you Jen for taking photos)
cards and gifts for our parents (they worked really hard on their ornaments and votive holders…enjoy!)
We learned a new finger play that your bear can teach you (with movements) over break:
The wise men traveled from afar
Following the Christmas star
When it stopped
They jumped for joy
And worshipped baby Jesus boy!
Your child is MY blessing. Merry Christmas and Happy 2014!
Cathy
