Naughty and Nice...
Letter N/Noisy Scooter Sound
Letter N/Noisy Scooter Sound
Today we introduced the Letter N or Noisy Scooter sound (imagine the whine of an electric scooter... nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn).
During Circle Time we played a game involving a group of "Naughty" preschoolers (not ours, of course, but some cute stick figure drawings such as Wilma Whisperer, Connie CandyEater, Sammy Sing TOO Loud, and their friends). The kids in the class got to help us decide how the naughty kids could change their behavior to nice. We then read the fun book, Elf on the Shelf and got to meet and name our own little class elf (Morning Class Elf is named "Red Hat" and Afternoon Class Elf is named "Gabby"). Red Hat and Gabby will be watching over us and making nightly reports to Santa, then returning and hiding in the classroom for the kids to find each day. There may also be mischief involved where the elves are concerned. :)
The "N" sound is often confused among preschoolers with the "M" sound. We will be working on differentiating the two in preschool. Feel free to quiz your child at home (what sound does MOUSE begin with? - point to an M and an N and have them sound it for you).
In Arts and Crafts we glued together our Christmas Countdown Chains (OH BOY there was a lot of glue today)! 20 more days!
We are now incorporating Christmas songs into our Singing Time routine, YAY! Today we sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Jingle Bells". Can't wait 'till tomorrow!
PARENT NOTES: The last day of school in December will be Wednesday, December 14th and school will resume again on Tuesday, January 3rd. Please remember to pay your December tuition before then, it sneaks up quickly! Thanks.
