December News
Ms Laura and Ms Lynn’s Class
Website for the month:
http://www.floridapartnership.usf.edu/programs_services/earlychild/tip.htm
Books we will read this month will have the theme of bears and winter. We
will also continue to focus on shapes; we have been talking about triangles
(pumpkin eyes) and the younger students will concentrate on circles, and
the older students on stars.
Our art themes will focus on winter, trees, and kindness.
We will also read traditional holiday stories (Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red
Nosed Reindeer) throughout the month. In addition to reading holiday stories, we will
sing Jingle Bells, Frosty, Rudolph, etc. If there are any secular favorites that your family
loves, please let me know.
Did you have any questions about your child’s
progress report that went home the week
before the break?
*****************************************
Words to Practice
Please talk to your child all the
time! It helps if you give him or
her choices. Allow him or her to
answer you with words or sounds
instead of anticipating their wants
and needs.
************************
I am always happy to speak with you! No
question is a silly one. The best way to
reach me is through email:
Laura.Lowther@lcps.org or through the
school phone number 571 434 4560. I
appreciate your availability and time. I
look forward to our monthly visit when we
can discuss your child’s progress in detail.
It’s getting colder outside!
Our classroom is warm, but the temperature
outside is getting colder and we want to be sure
the children are warm on the days we go
outside to play. (We do go outside if the
temperatures are not freezing). Please send in
gloves or mittens (that are marked with your
child’s name).
Our last day of school will be
December 18th. We return on
Monday, January 4th.
NO SCHOOL FROM 12/21/151/3/16

Inclusive Schools week is Dec 7-11. Soon, we will begin interacting with a 1st

typically developing peers every day. A 1st grade class will come in from 7:357:50 every day to play with our class. They talk with our students and teach
them how to play with toys.

Happy New Year!
