This week in Nature/Science we will learn about space probes, famous comets, fireballs, and meteorites as we explore the Solar System. We're also planning to paint Cosmos that is blooming in the garden.
In Social Studies we will read Meryt's Music Lesson and learn about the music of Egypt. The children will practice rhythms with their Egyptian Sistrum and take turns at playing the harp. We will learn about the Pyramids and paint the flag of Egypt.
In Music/Art we will sing "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer", "Up on the Housetop", "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", "Jingle Bells", "He'll Be Driving Eight Brown Reindeer", and "Away In A Manger" with our jingle bell bracelets. The children will paint figures for our Nativity Scene, work on wooden Christmas ornaments, and decorate snowflakes.
In Phonics/Language the children will practice creating J's with Wiki Sticks and make an Itsy Bitsy Letter J Book. We will read Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, The Christmas Bear, and begin to practice narration with The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree.
Proofs for pictures have been sent home, and the orders are due back by this Thursday, December 1 to allow printing in time for Christmas.
