We continued working on
worksheets for food vocabulary. We LOVE to sing "Feliz Navidad" (Merry
Christmas) and we learned Santa Claus is called Papa Noel in Spanish
while doing an art project. Our story for this week was El Arbol de

 Celebrations Around the World
Art: Ms. Mary Sue, Connor's mom
brought all the goodies to make gingerbread houses. The kids loved it.
The kids loved taking sneak tastes of the frosting. We also made a
special present for our families to enjoy for Christmas. Shhh It's a
surprise! We made hand print and feet print reindeer. Sikha and Zoi loved
tracing their feet. They said it tickled! We also made peppermint candy
poems. Finally the kids loved making a Santa puppet.
Math:
We reviewed writing our numbers 1-10, we worked on subtraction; all
week we kept track of how many days until winter. Each day we would
work on a subtraction problem. We also worked on adding and reviewed
the subtraction, addition, and equal signs.
Writing: This week we worked on the letters, k and J. Aidan, Arianna and Caden's k's were awesome!!!
Reading:
The kids loved the stories this week. We read, The Night Before
Christmas, The Gingerbread Man, Penguin Pete, and Christmas Story.
Music:
Ms. Stacy is doing such great job with music. The kids are loving the
popcorn game, they went on a great sleigh ride and sang Jingle-bells.
We also sang, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
We
had so much fun at our holiday party. Santa came to Ms. Lindsi's house
and dropped off a little stocking filled with goodies. They are in
their friday folders.
Leah was an amazing Star Student this week!

Celebrations Around the World 
The preschool class has really been in
the holiday spirit this week! The kids have loved singing songs such
as Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer (Ellie and her sister, Zoi, doing this
as a duet is precious), Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman and The
Dreidel Song. In art, we have "sewed" stockings, made Santa puppets
and decorated Christmas trees. In math, we counted Chanukah candles,
candy canes and octopus legs (octopus begins with our letter of the
week O!) We practiced moving our bodies like reindeer. Some reindeer
gallop and Santa's reindeer fly of course. In preschool, reindeer also
turn into lions, spidermen and other various creatures. Ashleigh
decided she should be a horse instead and did do some great galloping.
This week's letter O has been fun. We learned a song about an
octopus and worked on an ocean puzzle. We are so proud of the way
Dylan M., Tegan, Ollie and Soleil worked together to get it done. Good
job kids!
A really big Thank You goes out to Ms. Susan
(Monica's nanny) for spending an hour teaching us about Chanukah. She
read us stories, showed us her menorah, sang the dreidel song with us
and taught us how to play the dreidel game (SO MUCH FUN!!) And all the
kids got to go home with some Chanukah gelt! It was a great learning
experience for all of us.
Welcome back to Pearl! We missed you and it is so nice to have you back!
And last, but not least, a big heartfelt "See you later" to Ms.
Catherine. We have enjoyed having your big smile and loving heart with
us! We will miss you and wish you and your family the best of luck!
We love you!

Celebrations Around the World
It's
our favorite time of year in the Toddler Class, and this week we
continued to explore the various ways people celebrate December, like:
Christmas, Kwanzaa and Chanukah. For Christmas we decorated gingerbread
men, made Christmas trees, angels and winter mittens. To recognize Chanukah we colored dreidels and Stars of David. For Kwanzaa we made our
own Kwanzaa place cards with corn and all. We also read some great
books, such as "Biscuit's Pet & Play Christmas," "The Snowy Day"
and "Olive The Other Reindeer." Also, we wished our dear Teacher Judy
a wonderful birthday on Thursday.
We love you Ms. Judy! We also said our dear good byes to our friendly
teacher in Pre-School, Ms Catherine. We will miss you dearly!
