DECEMBER

     **Christmas break is Dec. 21-Jan.4.  Come back to school on Monday Jan. 7th.  

How did we make it to the Christmas season...again??!!!  Students have been making ornaments to decorate the speech tree.  We are coloring candy canes, elves, and of course reading some of my favorite books!

December words we have been talking about: 

Santa, Stocking, Sleigh, Decorations, Ornament, Wreath, Reindeer, Candle, present, glistening, joyous, Elf, poinsettia, holly berries, Eve

All the kids are starting to make progress that I can hear and see!  We are working on beginning sounds of words and a few rhymes too!  Some of the kids are starting to read words too!  How exciting.

  

Just a few of the books we have been reading this month!

**and even MORE websites to have Christmas fun!

I will be talking to my students about a neat website to watch Santa's Reindeer!  Click HERE to see it.  I think Santa shows up at 11am, 6pm and 9pm. We leave it on the computer all day to see the antics those reindeer cause.  This year I saw "The Grinch" steal a stocking and a wreath, while Santa was reading some mail!!  So exciting to share and watch as a family.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my students and their families. Have a great winter break!!
