Dec Newsletter

Hello Preschool Families           

This month we are learning about Jan Brett.  We will talk about what is an author and illustrator – what are their jobs?  We will read several of Jan Brett’s books look at the illustrations, compare some of the stories how are they the same and different.   On Fridays we will graph our favorite Jan Brett book we read that week and look at the results.  Then the children will also become authors and illustrators and create their own books.  In their home/school folder you will find – details about our book celebration, and general winter newsletter.  The children will be practicing a new greeting song “The Mitten” and we will try to squeeze in the mitten that we taped to the floor just like the story.

Friday Dec 8 – I will be looking for parent volunteers – to bring in different items or help in the classroom.  An email will follow on this with more details.  However if you think you would like to volunteer in the classroom you will need to fill out the MBS volunteer form, and send me an email so I am expecting you.  I have included the volunteer form in the home/school folder.  For this specific activity I will need the form returned to me by Thursday Nov 30 because it takes about a week for Mrs. Benay to go over the form.

Other things we will be doing this month playing with babies in our dramatic play area, I added several new toys in our play areas such as – k’nex, the farm, fencing blocks, tangrams, and different puzzles including a challenging cube puzzle.  In the block area there are wooden people, cars, and traffic signs. 

***    PLEASE take time to look through your child’s home/school folder this week there is A LOT of important papers and information going home this week.
