Last week we had lots of fun with gingerbread. We read about the gingerbread baby, boy and man. We counted gingerbread, made gingerbread number lines,decorated gingerbread, made gingerbread cookies, ran after our gingerbread cookies and finally ate our gingerbread.
This week 3's continue to work on letter recognition, writing their name, number recognition and counting everything we can find to count. 4's continue to work on sounds, putting words together, sequencing, and number recognition and writing our numbers.
Next week we will start a sink and float science unit.

Welcome back
Hi All,
It has been so fun this week reconnecting with the kids and hearing about their special time with family.
I just wanted to update you all on what is going on in the classroom. We continue to work on our letter formation and sounds. The 4's are working on G, S, and then on to J. The 3's are working on U, C and then O. Both classes are taking extra time to work on their own names. The 4's are working on keeping the letters in order and in a straight line. The 3's are working on being able to print each letter in their name. We are all working on perfecting our pencil grip. Since we have lots of snow on the ground, we will use it to our advantage. We will be making and dressing snowmen in winter gear and talking about what matches (or is the same) and what is different, doing some science experiments with snow and counting and adding with snowballs. If it warms up just a bit, I hope to get out and enjoy playing in the snow. Hope you are all staying warm.
Blessings,
Mary Jo
