The pretend play center was transformed into a Gingerbread Bakery. It was a favorite! We added a Holiday tree to the center and they loved putting ornaments on it. They had the opportunity to build gingerbread houses in the block center as well. We counted gingerbread men and we tried gingerbread cookies. We learned about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

The students worked together to paint the solar system.       During math small groups we focused on identifying  whether the number of objects in one group is more than, less than or equal to the number of objects in another group and c ounting out up to three objects from a larger set, pairing each object with a number name. The students have made great progress towards these objectives! This month we've focused on the letters C, O, and F. We've continued working on answering WH questions after a story is read.
