Welcome back!!! I hope
everyone had a lovely break, and are staying warm on these cold days. I know that I am so excited to be back and
see all my preschool friends. I have
missed them all, but have also enjoyed spending time with my family as well.
The next two weeks we will be talking about Hibernation and
winter animals. We will discuss what hibernation
is, and what other animals do if they do not hibernate – like migrate or active
animals in winter. Then we will talk
about penguins – where they live, what they eat, how they walk, and other
interesting facts. The last week in January
we will talk about snowflakes. How each
snowflake is different, who was Snow Flake Bentley, and interesting facts about
snowflakes. February we will have fun
with snow people and things we can do in the snow. (as the new themes come along I will update
you with new things going on in the classroom.)
A few things that will be happening in our classroom – our dramatic
play area has changed into a bear cave – IF your child would like to bring in 1
teddy bear (JUST ONE) to play with in this area that would be ok. Please make sure your bear is LABELED, and
that it is not a favorite bear in case it gets left at school. I will let children decide if they would like
to let the bears sleep at school in their cubbies or go home.
We will have cheerios in our sensory area to string on pipe
cleaners to hang outside to feed the animals.
Our water table will hold snow so we can make Mr. Snow heads – using our
potato head pieces.
We also have the listening center out for two friends to
use. The book they will read this week
is Sleep Big Bear Sleep by Maureen Wright to go along with our
theme. The children will use this center
independently with lots of modeling and reminders in the beginning. I think the children will really enjoy this
area.
We will also start an added “have to” called work jobs. The children will come to the table for 3
minutes to work on a task (this may not be every day) the tasks could be puzzles,
counting, lacing, number recognition, letter recognition and so much more.
We have also created our own blocks using different boxes and
tubes. The children have loved using the
new area last week – I am sure they will come back ready to build a new
structure.
** If you have any boxes that you feel would be a great addition
to our new homemade blocks feel free to bring them in.
It will be a fun month with all the new things additions.
