Our last week before the Christmas Holidays were filled with a visit from Santa Clause, (pictures were taken and the children were able to ask him questions and he told them ways to be good to their parents and sibblings for 30 minutes) making and baking Gingerbread men......and one got away so we searched the entire house until we found him warm by the fire, painting a snowman, dressing up like little elfs, decorating our preschool tree and our own tree, planting peppermints in the dirt and watched them grow into big candy canes...that was the best! Also, seeing where the little Elf was in the preschool and what he was doing. Now I understand that was all the creative play stuff we did, however, they did learn more sight words, shapes, the letters, upper and lower and letter sounds up to the letter "M", The 4-5 year old classes are right where they should be.
The 3-4 year old class I have some concerns as we are still learning colors. I worked with 3 children last week for 15 minutes and they had an extremely hard time recognizing their colors and being able to count to 10. We will continue to work on those concerns before we move on.
Days of the week, pledge of allegiance, shapes, colors, identifying numbers as well as counting to 100 are accomplished by the 4-5 year olds! Way to go guys...so proud of each one of them.
We will see everyone starting Jan 5 & 6 at the regular scheduled time. Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
