Upcoming in January
We have finished the mitten and said goodbye to the animals we
were learning about in December. We are excited to be welcoming
Winter! We will be talking about winter clothing and making sure
our weather bear is dressed for the cold weather. Make sure to talk
at home about the articles of clothing we wear in the cold! We are
also going to be talking about snow and snowmen. We are hoping to
see some snow outside so that we can make the connection to
learning about snow! If not we have fun inside snow activities
awaiting
Technology in Our Classroom:
We are so excited to be using the Promethean Board during our circle
time now! We are using it for our calendar activities and our brand
new Preschool Wall activities! The class is loving using the
Promethean Board and everyone is working on new skills as we move
forward into January. We are looking forward to matching and sorting
activities that we will be doing during our morning and literacy circles.
