Thanksgiving

Greetings,
During these next few weeks we will be talking about Thanksgiving and thankfulness.  A few activities the children will take part in include making tie-dye turkeys, patterning, playing a match game with letters, and writing the first two letters of their first names.  Our letter during this time is "Tt" and the numbers we will focus on include numbers 5, 6 and 7.  Next week on Monday and Tuesday we will have a Thanksgiving Feast where we celebrate the holiday with pumpkin bars and a Thanksgiving movie with all of the Pre-K classes at MAES.  

At home, please continue to work on the letters and numbers of the week.  It is also great practice to have your child write his or her name whenever possible.  This helps tremendously with their writing at school.  I am thrilled with the progress they have made so far this year!  Some students that came to Pre-K not knowing any letters of their name can now write their whole name!  It's an honor being on this journey with your children!

Please remember that there is no school on November 23-25, as it is Thanksgiving Break.  When the children come back, we will jump right into talking about Winter Clothes and the letter "Ww."

Have a great week and a great Thanksgiving!

Ms. Brittany
