Decem-BURRR!

Please check out some of our "December-doings" this week! We have talked a lot about animals, and how they survive during the cold months of winter! We also talked about how WE get ready for the upcoming winter months too! 

Fundations Letters: 

We have been practicing the letters d & s this week. The letters we learn are becoming increasingly challenging to write! We practice writing letters during Fundations and center time. Don't forget to practice at home too!
