Week of November 28

It's hard to believe we are in the last week of November. I hope everyone had a meaningful holiday!!
Here is our schedule for the week:

Monday: Letter of the week "H"
Students will be able to recognize the letter and the sound it makes. We will talk about words that start with "H" and complete our letter "H" dot painting activity.
We will begin singing Christmas, winter, and holiday songs in preparation for our winter "concert".

Wednesday: We will talk about the weather and the upcoming season of winter. We will talk about the changes we will see, read a book about the upcoming season, and complete a worksheet on types of weather. Incorporated will be counting skills (counting snowmen, snowflakes, etc.)as well as a discussion on hibernation and where animals go in the winter.

Friday: Cooking Friday. I am torn between 2 recipes this week, so it will be a surprise on Friday!
Any questions, please let me know!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to take the opportunity to wish all of you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
We talked about the things we are thankful for today and what is special to us. Your children had some really thoughtful and sweet answers.
I am thankful for all of them!!
