DECEMBER

     **Christmas break is Dec. 23-Jan.1st.  Come back to school on Thursday, Jan. 2nd.  

How did we make it to the Christmas season...again??!!!  We are spending these few short weeks, reading Christmas stories, playing Christmas games, and getting ready for a much needed break!!  We talk about family traditions, and if they have put a tree or stocking up at their homes.  All those little eyes just light up when we start talking about it!

December words we have been talking about: 

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

Just a few of the books we have been reading this month!  Remember that sharing a book with your child is an excellent way to improve vocabulary, answer "wh" questions, retell, sequencing, and working on speech sounds in a story!

**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.   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!!

I can't believe I missed my most favorite Month...October!!!  We were so busy learning routines, speech sounds, and filling our folders with speech work.  Now onto.......

NOVEMBER

Thank you to all the parents I met at Parent Teacher conferences.  If you have any questions about your students' progress report, please contact me at Webster School!  

This month we are going to be talking...Thanksgiving!  I will read a few stories, played turkey games, and even colored a worksheet or two.   



Books we are reading this month: 

Who Will Carve the Turkey This Thanksgiving? by Jerry Pallotta
The Great Turkey Race by:  Steve Metzger
10 Fat Turkeys by:  Tony Johnston

Books continue to help us reach our goals in speech therapy.  We are working on skills for retell, sequence, answering"wh" questions, and practicing our speech sounds.  



A fun activity your children can do is to make placemats for the Thanksgiving table!  Below are some examples of color sheets they can prepare.  This helps with vocabulary, and the kids love to see their artwork on the table. 

Click here to print out more fun placemats for the kids to color and use at your Thanksgiving meal! 

           We are ready for Kindergarten!!!!

Welcome back!!!  I am excited to begin a new year! The bulletin board is up and my classroom is ready.  I am looking forward to seeing familiar faces, and meeting new ones:) 

COME VISIT AT OPEN HOUSE:  Wednesday, August 28 6:00pm-7:00pm
