December News
This one of my favorite times of the year with PK3. We have several projects that I know they will enjoy. We have been using our fine motor skills to make Christmas decorations for the classroom and home. The kids practiced there scissor skills cutting out stockings and decorating them with stickers. Some of you might have seen them, some of you might not and some of you might have seen a baggie with cut up red paper. This project was about the process not the product. Some of the kids enjoyed cutting so much they just kept on cutting and were just as proud of the pieces. They all did great with this project. This past week we brought out the glitter and had so much fun painting glue on paper light bulbs and then sprinkling glitter all over. The Gingerbread men they decorated as seen in the video below are so adorable. Your kids are very creative. Through these projects they are using their imagination, fine motor skills, and even patterning skills.
We have enjoyed reading Christmas books as well. One of our favorites is Merry Christmas Big Hungry Bear. At the end of the story is a present and the author does not reveal what is in the present. The kids became authors and illustrators and drew a picture of what they thought was in the Little Mouses' present from the Big Hungry Bear. Be sure to look at our class book when you visit our classroom.
Just a reminder, this Friday is Pageant day. This will be a NO SCHOOL DAY for PK3-K. The Kids need to be dressed in their dove costume and in the classroom at 9:30. The Pageant will take place in the gym. We will take the kids back to the classroom and you may pick them up there.
Thank you parents for all of the snacks and volunteering you have done. We appreciate you!
