Hello Strangers!

I think we are having Christmas break two!

This week at school we are going to look at pictures of Washington D.C. and talk about Presidents.

The rest of our week will be centered around catching up from missed days.  

Letters: J and K

Numbers: 4 and 5

Shape: Circle

Religion: Jesus grows and Jesus goes to the Temple

The first week we can swing four school days we are doing Stone Soup.  The children are very excited for this, but it needs to be started on one school day and finished on the other.

I have printed three newsletters now, all which have been thrown away, I will post a final one this evening, and PRAY, that it does not need to be changed!

See you this week!

Week of January 12th

Sorry for the delay in posts.  I relaxed a little TOO much over Christmas break.  Returning to the classroom and school was a little shock!  I am now back into the swing of things. 

This week at school...

Speech and hearing screenings.  If you have not brought your permission slip and monies in it is not to late.  I recommend these at this age.  Ohio University does a great job too. 

We are covering...

The boy Jesus at the Temple

Cutting, Cutting, and more Cutting

Snowmen

We are starting Stone Soup on M/T, and will be finishing it on W/Th. 

Don't forget, no school Monday, January 19, in honor of Dr. King. 

Newsletters will come home next week for January/February. 

Email me in the meantime if you have any questions. 

Thanks,

Wendy

Mystery Solved!

Thank you!

A Mystery?

I am hoping for some help in solving a Christmas gift mystery!

A lovely red package was placed on my desk, inside it was an adorable ceramic snowman from Hallmark. Mrs. Deitz and I have searched high and low and can not find a tag or a card to go with it!

If it is from YOU please let us know!

Thank you again for the many beautiful gifts. We are very honored and humbled.

Thank you!

I want to extend a huge thank you for all of the thoughtful gifts. It is not necessary but I am extremely grateful and humbled! The most joyful part of teaching is being a part of your children's lives for a year.


Songs we sang in class...

Ring the bells, Ring the bells, Christmas bells, Christmas bells, It is Jesus birthday, It is Jesus Birthday, Can you tell, Can you tell.


Jingle Bells!

Our poem!
Here is were we hang the wreath on the door,
Here is the fir tree that stands on the floor
Here is the snow that will cover the town,
Here is the chimney that Santa will climb down,
Here is the mantle were stockings are hung,
Here is the book from which carols are sung,
Here is the box and inside it is hid,
A jack that pops up when we open the lid!

See you in the new year!

Week of December 15-18

Good Evening!

This week at school we will be finishing our Christmas projects and our study of Christmas. Our classroom parties are Wednesday and Thursday.

Do not forget your wrapped puzzle for the gift exchange! The children really enjoy this each year.

Our "academic" studies will continue in January with the letter J, number 5, and the color white.

Merry Christmas!

Hello all!

We had a great week. I hope that you are enjoying the ornaments the children made. They were very excited to hang them on their trees. We also have been busy creating and decorating in the classroom. These great projects will come on our last school day of the year for display at home.

This week at school....

We also are making Christmas gifts this week! This is the one time I ask the children to not share what we are doing in the classroom....

Thanks again for all of your help in the room!

Do not forget about our puzzle exchange. The children are looking forward to their "Birthday Party for Jesus"

Until next week,
Wendy
