With Christmas around the corner, the children have been busy practicing some songs for our Christmas Concert..
Letter People
Throughout the year, will be learning the alphabet by meeting the "Letter People" who come to visit our classroom from Letter Land. They each have a very special characteristic about them that helps the children remember what the letters look like and sound like such as Mr. H has horrible hair and Miss A is Miss Achoo.
The letters we've met so far are Mr. R, Mr. N., and Mr. D. Ask you children what is each letter's special characteristics. Mr. R is grumpy, Mr. N has a noisey nose, and Mr. D loves dougnuts. To help remember the sounds of the letters, we made a rattlesnake puppet and have been saying our names by counting out the sounds.
Math The children are learning about shorter and taller. Their shoes were put in the middle of the rug and the they were lined up by shortest to tallest. We're also comparing same sizes and same number of things in the classroom and the math book..
