It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We have had lots of fun welcoming the Holiday season! We have made ornaments and trimmed the tree! We have also addressed phonemic awareness with activities such as nursery rhymes and a letter of the week. This week our letter was T. We continue to address individual goals along with colors, shapes, letters and numbers. Monday, December 5, is my first day of maternity leave. I will return in mid February. In my absence, Mr. Fuller, a veteran teacher of students with special needs, will be the full time substitute. I will miss everyone, but feel confident that Mr. Fuller will continue to meet the needs of the students while making learning fun. Please contact him at (912) 876-0773 if you have any questions/concerns.

Check out the calendar that went home in bookbags on Friday! There are lots of exciting events coming up!

It is hard to believe that we are heading into our Thanksgiving Break. This year is really flying by so fast! We have had fun this week making turkey handprints and making our edible turkeys. We enjoyed celebrating Book Week as well. A picture is worth a thousand words so see below. Have a fabulous break! I look forward to seeing everyone again on November 28. Thank you to the parents who sent in wipes/tissue. They were very much needed and appreciated.

The holidays are right around the corner and we are gearing up for the festivities. We will make some fun turkey projects, as well as focus on our new letter N and our new nursery rhyme Jack Be Nimble. Next week we will also celebrate Book Week. Check out the November Calendar for the daily events. Friday will be book character day where both teachers and students will dress as a book character. Our class has chosen the popular Cat in the Hat as our book. Please remember to send in a plain red t-shirt for your child to wear by Wednesday, November 16. Your children will be transformed into Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the book. :) Additionally, we will continue to address many academic skills such as colors/shapes/letters/numbers.

Hello to all. This week we had fun with Fall activities such as making leaf rubbings and tissue paper pumpkins. Next week we will continue to celebrate Fall and all things that make it so exciting. We will carve and explore the inside of a pumpkin. The students will have an opportunity to feel the inside and count seeds. We will have a Fall Celebration on Friday, October 28. Students will rotate among our three classes and participate in three very different but fun activities associated with the season. Our letter for next week is M, and our Nursery Rhyme is Muffin Man. Have a great weekend. (From the pictures, you can tell the edible Jack-O-Laterns we made today were a big hit! ) :)
