SAVE THE DATE - CHRISTMAS PAGEANT

It was nice meeting with all of you last month to talk about your children and the progress they are making in preschool.  Mrs. Tierney, Mrs. Petix and I continue to enjoy our time with them!  We love hearing their stories and seeing them interact with one another.  Thank you for sharing your children with us this year!

This month, our Happily Ever After story unit will be The Elves and the Shoemaker.  The children will learn about the letters Gg and Hh, the color green and they will continue to practice making circles on their activity pages.  They will gain an understanding about parts of a whole and top, middle and bottom.  They will also continue to look for details in the "print" that is found in their  storybooks.

In math,  we will continue to practice recognizing numbers 0-10.  The children will also play some sorting games and matching games during Game Centers.  We will also continue to work with shapes this month as we create some holiday artwork with circles, squares, triangles and rectangles.

We have started rehearsing for our Christmas Play.  We will be practicing in our classroom until the week of the performance, when we will rehearse in Deacon Hall up on the stage.  Next week, the children will be trying on their costumes for the first time.  They are really looking forward to that!

Our class will be enjoying an ice cream party next Wednesday.  Our Movie Night raffle basket received the most tickets the day of the Walkathon and Mrs. DiVasto the Walkathon chairperson,  will be bringing in ice cream and toppings for the children.  Thank you for your generosity in helping to create such a special basket!

This promises to be a very busy, yet exciting month in preschool.  This is my favorite time of year with the children as I get to share in all their wonder and joy!  My own faith is also deepened as I am able to help the children prepare for the Christmas Play and I answer the many questions they have about Baby Jesus and that special night.

Have a wonderful month!
