December Newsletter


Dear Parents:
Warmest Holiday Wishes and an early Merry Christmas! This month is going to be really exciting as we begin back where we left off on learning our letter sounds, starting with...

1. J=Jungles. This unit is going to be super busy and fun. We will learn everything from what a safari is, to all the animals that live out in the deep of the jungle! Snack will Jello.


2. K = Kings and Queens. This week your children will become royalty! We will learn about what rulers do, how they dress, where they live, etc. Snack will be Kabobs.


3. Christmas Week. There will be no letter this week (and consequently no sound object to pick up at the front door.) Our party will be on Thursday December 17th. We will be picking names for our gift exchange this week.

You may have noticed that your children came home last week with all the letters and books that they missed so far! We will do more "make-up" letter work in February and then again in May - so tell your children to not be alarmed if they miss a day as they will get the chance to do it!
No book order is due this month as December's was already turned in. Also, we will be closed for Christmas break from Tuesday December 22 through the 31st. Our first day back will be January 5th!
As always, please call with any questions or concerns.

November Newsletter

Dear Parents:

Happy Fall/Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for including you, wonderful parents, and your sweet little ones! This month is going to cover the following:

1. H= Health. We are going to cover some VERY important basics, including, but not limited to: why it is important to brush your teeth, wash your hands, and eat certain foods! Snack will be Hot Dogs (by popular vote from the children who keep asking me when we get to eat hots dogs at school!)

2. I = Insects and Spiders. This creepy, crawly unit is a favorite. We will talk about and handle some of our most favorite critters (i.e. ladybugs, butterfly, crickets, etc) Snack will be Ice Cream.

3. Thanksgiving Week. There will be no letter this week (and consequently no sound object to pick up at the front door.) We will be learning about the first Thanksgiving as well as having our very own feast on the 19th. For that day we are asking each child to bring a food to share with his or her friends in honor of Thanksgiving Day! Please respond via the comments section with something you can bring - and remember to please cut or make the portions sizes very small, it does not take much to fill these little tummies up! This feast will take place at 11:30 for the morning class and 1:00 for the afternoon class - so your child can count this as their lunch for that day!

Please remember there is no school on the 24th or the 26th! Enjoy this special time with your family and loved ones.
Firefly book orders due on Thursday, November 5th!

Call me if you have any questions about this information! Thanks for always blessing me with your smiles and sweet attitudes. Have a great month and know that I love your children!

Love,
Britni
