Sorry about the late post, all of the turkey I ate made me forget! I hope everyone had a great break. This week our theme is the Night Before Christmas. We will also be working on the letter L. Here are our plans for the week…

Monday: We were able to do some gross motor activities at the beginning of the day. For stations, we made lion heads for introducing the letter L. We also worked in the sensory table, did some sorting, and decorated snowflakes to get our room ready for the winter season.

Tuesday: We will be making stockings, tracing the letter L, playing in the sensory table, and also be making a special project.

Wednesday: The students will be making mice, decorating the letter L, and weaving the stockings.

Thursday: This will be our pajama party day. We will all wear our pajamas to school and bring a stuffed animal, blanket, and pillow so we can relax. We will watch a movie and pop our own popcorn.

Friday: No school for parent teacher conferences.
