Dear Parents,
We just wrapped up our first week of our Gingerbread unit. We read the story the Gingerbread Man and the Gingerbread Girl (which the kids adore). Next week, we will read the Gingerbread Pirates and The Gingerbread Cowboy. We will be creating charts that compare the stories and we will create a Venn diagram that compares the two stories and will be sequencing the stories (focusing on the remembering the beginning, middle and end). Students will also be writing about how they would plan on catching the gingerbread man (would they create a trap, use a net, dig a hole, ect). We will be focusing on number 4 with our math talks. Our letter of the week is T. Please send in your small picture that begins with T no later than Thursday. Don’t forget to write your child’s name on the picture! We will have a Parent/Child Activity on December 23rd in the cafeteria from 9:15-10:30. There will be no regular class that day. Also on December 22nd, we will be decorating a gingerbread cookie. PLEASE let me know if your child has an allergy! The cookies can be very expensive for me and the other pre-k teachers to purchase, so we are asking for parents to donate items to decorate with. There will be a list of supplies you can sign up to purchase next to the sign in area. Remember winter break is from December 24-January 8th. Please remember to help your child learn to independently put on their hat, coat, scarf, boots, snowpants at home. We want our students to be able to dress themselves as much as possible. If you can purchase mittens rather than gloves, we would much appreciate it. Mittens are much easier for kids to put on independently. If you are unable to provide a winter coat, boots, gloves or other cold weather clothing, please do not hesitate to talk to me. I help find these items to donate to your child. Have a wonderful week and we appreciate your patients with the new entrance and exit routine! Thanks! Mandi Heiser [email protected]
