Abacus

Everyday Mathematics

 We are continuing our study of numbers through 20.  We have been practicing reading and writing 0 – 20 in our centers.  We are still graphing in class as well as counting.  Some days we even practice counting to 100! 

Science Beakers

Science and Social Studies

Science
We have been learning about all kinds of life cycles lately.  We sarted with the plant life cycle of the pumpkin.  We have also learned about the animal life cycles of the butterfly and the frog.  Now we are learning about how apples grow.  Ask us about it some time!

Social Studies

The last two weeks of December we will be starting a social studies unit on different cultures.  We will learn about maps and the symbols used on them.  We will focus primarily on the difference between water and land.  We will be introduced to the different continents.  We have a really cute song that will help us remember the names of the continents and oceans.

We will learn about a few different countries/continents, too!  We will talk about Germany, Africa, Israel, and the U.S.A.  We will explore tannenbaums, kinaras, menorahs, and traditions we have here in America.  We will review the map skills and continents and oceans everyday.

Helpful Hints

1.  Review the numbers and counting on a regular basis so your child will become fluent with these skills.

2.  Review the rules and consequences everyday.
 
3.  Ask your child about what he/she did at school.

Remember...Review the rules with your child to ensure a great year!
