November was a great month for the infant room! We introduced the letter "C" and we did a lot of crafts using our handprints and footprints. We hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving! In December, we will be introducing the letter "D" as well as the color green. We will also be working on our holiday projects. We hope that everyone has a great December and that you all enjoy your holidays =)

Room 12:
November was an eventful month for Pre-K! We celebrated the birthdays of Avery (1st), Elizabeth (12th), and Chase (13th). We went over letters J-M and we worked on our fine motor skills—cutting, pasting, tracing, writing, painting, etc. We also started learning all about subtraction and the children love it!
For Thanksgiving, we made teepees out of ice cream cones and little turkeys out of graham crackers and frosting. We wrote what we are thankful for on feathers for our big hallway turkey, we signed a friendship treaty where we made promises to be good friends, we made Indian jewelry out of macaroni, and we learned all about Pilgrims and Indians by making Mayflowers and doing Thanksgiving yoga (we pretended we were on the Mayflower, did Pilgrim Pop-Ups, the Squanto Squeeze, the Turkey Trot, Settlers’ Sit-Ups, and Plymouth Rock. Ask your children to show you each one—we had so much fun! Another fun Thanksgiving activity we did in November was to learn a Thanksgiving poem and the sign language to go with it. We also went over good nutrition and healthy eating.
For December, we will be working on letters N-R. We will continue to work on letter recognition and sounds as well as addition and subtraction. We’re also going to do some fun winter experiments! And of course we will be gearing up for Christmas with lots of different Holiday crafts and activities.
Please don’t forget that our class will be visiting Bright View Assisted Living Center to sing Christmas carols to the residents on Friday Dec. 19th. The bus will leave at 10:30am. Please have your child here before that time and feel free to dress them in festive clothing!

Greetings from the North Pole Headquarters. This month the Kindergarteners are busy little elves spreading Christmas cheer everywhere they go! Our special Elf on the Shelf “Jingles” arrived and is helping us get into the Holiday spirit.
On Friday Dec. 5th we will be going to the Medford Care Retirement Home to sing carols and pass out Christmas cards to the residents. We will also be busy this month making Christmas cards for our US troops overseas. Thank you to everyone who donated Tastykakes to our drive this past month—the troops will be so happy to receive those treats this Holiday season. As the sweet smell of Christmas fills the air, our class will be busy making their own gingerbread houses. And, don’t forget that Hanukkah begins on Tuesday Dec. 16th.
Parents, don’t forget: Santa and Mrs. Claus will be visiting Future Scholars on Tuesday Dec. 23rd from 9:00am-10:00am. Please have your child here before 9:00am if they would like to participate.

With the holidays swiftly approaching, December will be a very busy month! With that in mind, here are a few quick reminders:
- Always be sure to check the red mailboxes behind our door for important flyers and the daily reports. Remember, the dailies are our main source of communication!
- Please be sure to always provide at least 2 sets of seasonally appropriate spare clothes (shirts, pants, socks, etc.)
- As the winter chill creeps up, we would love to continue going outside, so please be sure to send gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, boots, etc. when the temperature dips below 40.
- Lastly, we will be sending home a family holiday craft to be decorated for whatever holiday you and your family celebrate! Feel free to decorate the craft however you want with your child(ren)—use photos, stamps, paint, markers, etc. We will talk about the completed crafts at circle time and post them in our classroom. Of course, this is an optional project, but we encourage it!
