Hello first grade families!

This week the children heard the story of The Prince and the Three Fates, which is an Egyptian fairytale. With this story, we worked with the letter P. We continue review along with our blending board, sounding out sounds, and some of the children continue to put those sounds together to make words.

In our morning circle, we are continuing to count up to 120 by 2 and then counting backwards, as well as up to 200 by 10 and counting backwards. We have reached 106 tally marks for our thumbprint tree and the children have been counting by 5's in order to determine how many we have. We will be adding in some new songs, verses, and saying goodbye to ones that are no longer in season.

Our Advent Spiral was a wonderful experience for our entire class. I would like to thank everyone for ensuring their child had an apple for the Advent spiral. As some of you saw, it was a beautiful moment where the children were able to focus on lighting the candle and placing it on a star. Each child did such a wonderful job, and handled each apple with care.

Thank you,

Ki Aja
