Weekly Update
Dec. 9, 2011
This week we have continued turning
over alphabet letters on our wall cards. We've been
introduced to the letters Ll, Tt and Pp. We reviewed our
high frequency words while reading our pre-reading decodable
book titled "The Fire Truck". We enjoyed the fairy tale Jack
and the Beanstalk. Monday we began our project with Jack and
the Beanstalk. We did all of the cutting and coloring.
We also visited Mrs. Alloway. On Tuesday we finished our
project by adding some beans along with assembling the scene from
the fairytale. Story time with Mrs. Higginbotham found us
listening to several Christmas stories. On Wednesday we used
some "magic" beans to outline the first initial of our names.
Thursday we finished off our real and make believe unit by
enjoying several gingerbread stories along with creating a craft
gingerbread man. Friday we listened to the story " Getting
Ready for Christmas" from our Religion book and completed the page
talking about Advent. We really enjoyed decorating our own
gingerbread cookies. Thank you to Madilynn's mom for baking
them for us.
Afternoons were spent creating a Christmas
surprise along with decorating a stocking.
Next Week: Spirit shirt NUT day on
Tuesday. Your child may wear their spirit shirt along with
any jeans or shorts. Wednesday we'll be going on a field
trip. I've included a permission slip in the Friday folder.
On Friday our 4th grade buddies will be visiting at 11:00 to
decorate Christmas cookies with us.
Christmas Program: The Pre-K classes will be
joining together to sing on Monday evening is the annual Christmas
pageant. Your child will need to wear a red shirt and dark
bottoms to the pageant on Monday Dec. 19th.
We are collecting new, unwrapped toys in the
school office for needy children. Would you please consider
donating something? During our Thanksgiving food drive our
school community collected over 4000 canned goods. Deacon
Mike from Helping Hands thanked the children profusely. He
stated that 1 in 6 families in the Cocoa Rockledge area is
struggling to put food on the table daily. Any help you can
give is appreciated.
