This week we will learn about Letter Jj and the Jj sound. We will sing "Jack and Jill" and "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt." We will talk about Jesus, Joseph, and The Christmas Story. The children have been having such a great time singing Christmas carols in class each day! They are learning about the true meaning of Christmas and why it is so important to remember Jesus this time of year. We are still counting down the days until Christmas. I hope the children are having fun counting down with Santa at home!
This week we will also have fun making a Rudolph the Reindeer treat! Yummy!
