Dec 22-27

This week was Christmas week!! We worked very hard to make sure our speeches and songs were perfect. Banana class sang the song, "I'm a Little Snowman" and the all kindergarten song, "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". In addition to all the practices we did for the Christmas performance, we also continued working with the tools vocabulary. We also did more work with addition using the marshmallow math. Everyone loves counting so much, every chance we had free moments in class this week, the kids would practice their skills at addition. 

To learn more about shapes, we used play do to create shapes and count their sides.

At the end of the week, we had art class. This week, we got to make santas' elves. 

We colored our elves and then cut them out. Using push pins, we added the elf arms and legs so the elves were able to move and dance!

We continued learning more letters, both upper and lower case. We did a lot of practice sorting the letters to differentiate the big and small letters. We also played a new favorite game of bean bag toss to increase our use of letter specific words. Everyone had to think of a different vocabulary letter for the word A (for example) each time the bean bag was passed. Later in the week, we used an alphabet board game to practice new words and make all the letter sounds. 

I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!
