This was a
very short week in the Pre-K class. I
want to thank everyone that added to the Christmas spirit by bringing in soooo many
presents and treats at our party today.
This morning we went upstairs to see our buddies and give them a special picture
frame and letter we wrote. Make
sure to check the Christmas bag that went home today. Along with all of the presents and treats there are also the letters that Santa
Claus wrote back to us.
Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year

With only a
few days until our Christmas break things have been very busy in the Pre-K
class. We mailed our letters to Santa
and are eagerly waiting for the replies.
We also made many Christmas ornaments and decorated a wooden Christmas
tree with our grade 3 buddies.
Next Tuesday
is our last day of 2012 and to celebrate the end of the year and Christmas we
will be having a small party. On the day
could you please bring something small in to share with the others in the
class. We will also be finishing up our
Christmas unit and be singing many Christmas carols.
Today I sent
home the sleeping bag. They do not need to be brought back to
school. Instead of sleeping (which very
rarely ever happened) we will be having silent reading after lunch. Could you please send in a small pillow for
the students to read on. If they are
tired then they could also use the pillow to have a nap.
As some of
you are aware I am searching for a new job for the next school year. There is a job fair in Bangkok
Therefore, I will be away from
school those days. Ms. Vicky will be
here along with Samantha Lee (Ms. Lee’s daughter). She lives in Vancouver Vancouver
Students need
to be at school at 6:15pm tonight (Friday) for the Christmas performance. The show will start at 7:00 and be finished
around 8:30.

Christmas is
in the air and this week we started to get ready with writing letters to Santa
Claus and making gingerbread cookies. If
you haven’t heard our gingerbread cookies got adventurous and decided to take a
trip around the school. We finally
tracked them down and they are now in a safer place, in our tummies!
Literacy
week has finished and I want to thank all of the parents that came in or are
going to come in to read. If you haven’t
talked to me yet there is still time to come in. It takes around 10 minutes and the students
love to show off their parents.
Today I sent
home a story board of the gingerbread man.
Please ask your son or daughter to tell you the story while using the
story board (below is a youtube link to for the story). This was a great lesson on
showing the students how you do not always need words to tell a story. Remember that there are three ways to read a
story; read the picture, read the words and retell the story.

Please keep
bringing in the black/brown shirts and pants for the Christmas
performance. Next Wednesday is our dress
rehearsal and Friday night is the big performance.
One final
note, many students are becoming sick in the Pre-K class. If your son or daughter is sick please do not
send them to school, as it just makes others sick.

Word of
the week: like, you
Student
of the week
The student of the week is Ingrid. She has been very kind and considerate to
Jasmine who is still adjusting to Pre-K.
She always helps and consoles her if she is feeling sad. Ms. Vicky and I are so happy and proud to see
this. We also believe that since Ingrid
took a little longer to adjust to Pre-K, she has a lot of sympathy for Jasmine.
