Next the number pal will do a math or counting project. Sometimes the group works on their notebooks and practices writing letters, words and drawing out the numbers. Then the teacher shows them how to write the letter and they practice on the chalkboard and invite friends up to give it a try. After that, the alphabet pal tells us the letter of the week. Then the calendar pal sings the days of the week song and tells us the month and date. The bell ringer rings the morning bell to let everyone know it is clean up time. Ask your child what their job was each day and see if they can tell you about it. Our jobs are: bell ringer, calendar pal, alphabet pal, number pal, weather pal, line leaders, snack helpers and teacher’s helper. Each child has a job sometimes 2 children share a job. Then we break up into smaller groups to do our circle time work. We hope you all have a wonderful winter vacation.Įach day our class meets as one big group to sing songs, introduce ourselves and talk about what we will be doing in class that day. Our first day back to school will be January 2. Hands On will be closed from December 18-January 1. 6th, please dress them in good walking shoes and bring rain gear for our walk. Teacher Joan will lead us on a nature walk to see what we have been learning about in class. This month we are also looking forward to another visit from Talk About Tress. If you have a tradition, song, or cooking project you would like to share with our students, we would love to hear from you. We will learn the names of several winter holidays and then play games, sing songs and do cooking projects to learn more about them. Even though holidays have different names and meanings, most are celebrated with a gathering of friends and family, special foods, and sometimes gift giving. We are helping the children learn that there are many people in our world and many different beliefs and holiday celebrations. We will share stories about how each of us celebrates with our family, and we’ll learn about holidays around the world. Throughout December we are talking and learning about holidays.
