Week of 11/30/09 - 12/4/09

Theme: NURSERY RHYMES

Sorry for the late post, I couldn't get on the computer last night (teenagers and homework.) This week we will be exploring the world of Mother Goose. We will make Humpty Dumpty in Art and retell the rhyme. In the Sensory Table we will plant Mary, Mary Quite Contrary's Garden. We will build clock towers for the mouse (Hickory, Dickory, Dock) and walls for eggs (Humpty Dumpty) in Blocks. We will act out and use picture cards to retell the rhymes. We will also be learning about Letter C. In Religion, we will begin learning about Advent and will also begin learning about God's house, our church.

We will not be attending Mass this Friday as previously planned. We had planned to attend Gracie's baptism but the date was changed and Gracie was baptized yesterday. Congratulations, Gracie! We are so happy for you and your family.

Thurs. Dec. 3 - you can bring in coffee or laundry detergent to donate to Ronald McDonald House and wear free dress.

Thurs. Dec. 17 - SPX Christmas Program 6:30 - 7:30 in the church

Fri. Dec. 18 - Preschool Christmas Party 1:00 - 2:00 in the Parish Hall (due to the small size of our classroom.) Parents are welcome to attend. And, of course, we hope that all the T-Th kids can come to the party!

***Does anyone have a small (3-4 ft.) artificial tree that we can use in the classroom from Dec. 14 -18 for Dramatic Play? Please let me know - thank you!
