Dear Families we hope all of you are doing well and have been doing your best to  stay warm with all of the snow we have been getting this year. 🙂  The Little Scholar students are working on Letter R this week and have been working on their math and science skills, by dying and mixing rice and making play dough.  The Little Scholar’s Class is also working on writing their letter’s and small works as well as beginning reading skills.  All of the students now can recognize their last names and know the letters that are in their last names, and  are working on tracing their last names.

The Mini Scholar’s class has been working on the Letter E this week, and their first names the students are learning how to recognize their first names. The Mini Scholar students have been working on tracing their first names and working on letter recognition with the letters in their names. Mini Scholar students have also been working on their fine motor skills by learning how to properly hold a pencil and how to use it as a writing utensil.  The students have also been working on learning how to hold and use scissors as well.

Both Classes have just finished up units on hibernation and The Winter Olympic’s the student’s enjoyed both of the units.  The students have been working on their music and movement skills during large group time as well as the go noodle program, which is a exercise program/indoor recess activities to keep their bodies moving during the cold weather.

Just a reminder that over winter break it may be a good idea to wash hats, gloves, jackets and backpacks during the winter months their tend to be lots of germs in the classroom. Just a reminder to make sure students have extra clothing in their backpacks as well.

Dear Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday break J  this month in our Mini Scholar’s program we will begin working on our letters staring with letter Aa. We will also start working on our first names. When students come to class we will now have their name tags on the table and the student’s job is to find their name.  The students will be working on holding their pencil’s properly and learning the letter’s that are in their first name.

Our Little Scholar’s class will be working on writing their last names and the letters that are in their last names. The Little Scholar’s class is currently working their way through the alphabet we will be starting letter Nn.  Once we have completed the alphabet we will start introducing small site words to the students.

Both of our classes are working on the winter theme this month. We have been learning about the different seasons and what types of activities take place in winter. The students also have been working on sequencing and sorting.  Next week we will be talking about winter animals, and then at the end of the month we will begin talking about hibernation. The students will be having a hibernation/PJ party at the end of the month. I will put out a snack sign-up sheet next week.

In February both classes will be going on a field trip to the Westland gymnastics center. Once we receive our waiver forms from the gymnastic center we will give the information to our families and start collecting the money.

If you have any questions feel from to talk with us.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Maria and Mrs. Naamat
