We are busy getting ready for Christmas, but we can't neglect our work so our days have been very busy. Our morning routine stays the same no matter what else is going on.
We have a phonics lesson everyday also.
Finally, the books the kids bring home to read have lots of words in them. The kids have been looking forward to having more words to read in the take home books. Please watch carefully as your child reads to you. Remember that they need to have their eyes, fingers and words all working together. If they aren't using all three then they aren't really reading. They can easily memorize the words and not actually read the words.
This month, I am stressing the importance of kindness. We have talked a lot about how to be kind to each other and how to recognize when someone is being kind to you. We have a kindness tree in the room and when one child is kind to another, their name goes on a star and the star is hung on the tree.
I'm also going to reward good behavior this month. The kids made stockings last week and every child that stays on big green all day will have a treat in their stocking waiting for them the next day.
We made the rabbits last week also because our letter was
R and we put the stocking caps on them to make it feel more like Christmas.
We had already made these reindeer by tracing our hands and feet. No, they are not Rudolph the Yellow Nosed Reindeer. For some reason the picture made the red bulbs look yellow.
This is a box of Gingerbread Man ornaments that we will be decorating on Friday. Can't Wait!
