During the month of January, the preschoolers will be learning winter songs and fingerplays. They will be enjoying books about snow and the winter season. The children will be creating many unique winter-themed art projects such as snowmen and penguins.

The preschoolers are working very hard on their letters, numbers, shapes and colors. They are doing an awesome job on their fine and gross motor skills.

In Religion, the children are working on the Sign of the Cross along with their prayers. We are talking about families, friendship, kindness and God.

The children are very happy to be back together with their friends after our Christmas break.

Please remember to label all items from home with your child’s name.

Please see me with any questions.

Thank you, Mrs. Grafton
