December Newsletter

Mark Your Calendar...

December is a fun month in Preschool. Our Christmas Program will be on Friday the 19th at 5:00. It will be held at the Lehi Arts Council building next to Lehi Elementary. I'm sorry that it is so early, but I had a hard time finding a place that would be big enough. The 18th will be our last day of school until January 6th. Also on the 18th we will be having a gift exchange. Your child will be asked to bring a $1.00-$2.00 gift (for boy or girl) to be exchanged in class. I will send a reminder about the class party and the program as we get closer to those dates. There will be no snack bucket coming home this month, however several of our activities require candy. If you would like to donate a bag of wrapped holiday candy, please send it in sometime during the first week of Dec. Of course, this is totally optional-Thanks!!!


About This Month...

The theme for this month is Christmas Around the World. We will be tasting foods, talking about traditions, reading stories, and making crafts from other countries. If your family has any traditions etc. from any of these countries, please send them in with your child or call me if you would like to come in and share!


Week 1: Holland, England, Hawaii

Week 2: Hanukkah, Mexico, Germany

Week 3: Letter C-USA/Christmas party/program practice


We will also be working on some math, ABC review activities, and blending words.


Christmas Program

Our Christmas program will center around the things we are learning this month. Each child will have either a speaking part or a special part in a song. I will send home the parts in a few weeks so you can work on them. If you think your child will not feel comfrotable saying a part, or you will not be there, please let me know. The whole evening will last about 30-45 minutes. I hope you will be able fit it in with your other holiday plans!


Merry Christmas!

I know this is a busy time of year for everyone, and I hope that none of the things I have planned will cause any extra stress! I really appreciate all your help and support, and thank you to all those who were asked to bring something to the feast. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! See you in 2009!!!!
