It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is December 1st! This week we began to talk about measurement, sizing, and the Three Bears! We are preparing for our big visit on the Kohl’s Story-bus on Thursday, December 13th! They bus will come to Peirce and park out front. It will be here all day, and the Preschool and Kindergarten students will have an opportunity to visit for 35 minutes to enter into the land of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. We are also hoping that we can get a storyteller here too! (Fingers crossed)
In our classroom we are slowly changing over the room to make different objects small, medium, and large. At home, have your preschooler go around the house and find socks, shirts, or even underwear that is small, medium and large!!! Have these conversations with them. Compare and contrast. What makes something small? What makes something medium sized? These are questions we are beginning to analyze and discuss in class.
Our Winter Clothing Club Charts are hanging on the door ready to get new members up for the 2012-2013 group! Please start having your child begin to learn independent skills on learning to get their own coat, hat, gloves, and boots on. (It might be agonizing now, but the pay off later is wonderful! TRUST ME!)
Have a wonderful weekend. Please try to spend some time outside this weekend. Get some fresh air, and enjoy the amazing winter activities that our city has to offer. Zoo Lights, ice skating at Millennium Park, or even decorating the house outside for the holidays. Make it family time this weekend!
