In the month of December, we talked about winter animals and of course
Christmas. With our winter animals theme we made penguins and polar bear art projects. We
also read storied about winter animals and learned some finger plays as well.
The kids had a lot of fun making different Christmas art projects. They got to
decorate the Christmas tree, we made reindeer antlers, and we also played with jingle bells and
Rudolph noses.
Due to the cold we were not able to go outside but no worries, we brought some
snow inside for the children to play with!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
In January we will be learning about snow, more winter animals and all things
winter. Please continue to bring winter clothes in every day as we will be trying to make it
outside to play whenever the weather allows!
Happy Birthday

The first week in December we learned about the color red. The children made
red paper collages and red bows. We also did a science experiment to turned water red! We
explored red crayons, markers, paint and paper. Red is a popular color with young children
for this month.
Holiday decorations was our next theme for the month. We have had fun
making bells, marble painting candy canes and making the Christmas presents for mom and
dad! The favorite song to dance to is “Jingle Bells” and “Let’s All Do A Little Clapping.”
Christmas was the theme for the third week of December. The children
recognize who Santa is. Santa was in the thoughts and sentences of every child. The
children glued cotton onto Santa’s beard and did their favorite finger play, “Where Is
Santa?” We also listened to a lot of Christmas music and read a lot of Christmas books.
Books! Reading is really important. Books help children develop vital language
skills. Reading can open up new words and enrich children’s lives. Reading can also
enhance children’s social skill. Please take the time to read to your child.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season. We thank you all for your
gifts and kindness. We have an exciting new year ahead of us to grow and learn. We
will learn about weather, insects, science, and dental health this month.
We will be continuing working on recognizing our names, our ABC’s, 123’s,
colors, and shapes. We will also start doing our evaluations on the children that will
be put into their portfolios.
Just a reminder that the children need to have a winter coat, snow
pants, boots, hats and mittens at school as we will and do go outside unless
it is colder than 0 degrees. Also, they need to bring shoes to change into
after being outside as their boots stay by their cubbies.
Thank you for all you do to help us have a wonderful classroom.
Thank you,
Teresa & Jocelyn
