Santa Claus is Coming to town....

We made letters for Santa!  We practiced reading and writing some new sights words : mom, dad, me, love.  The friends cut things out of magazines to make a Christmas wishlist for themselves, mom, dad and others.  

Here is an example of another letter to Santa.

When our letters were all finished, we placed them in an envelope, addressed them to Santa Claus and put them in our special mailbox in our dramatic play center....Santa's Workshop!

Here are some friends delivering presents in our Santa sleigh in our dramatic play center !  So much fun !!!

Structures… Last week was so busy with meeting parents to discuss progress reports, I forgot to share these pics. It was wonderful watching the kids experiment and problem solve. The students used paper strips and glue to make all kinds of interesting creations!

Dog, dinosaur, dolphin, Dad....they all begin with the letter D !

Today we learned about the letter D.  We made a list of words beginning with D and of course, sang our letter song. Here is the song below ...it is also in our VIDEO section.   Don't forget to practice at home !
