TEDDY BEAR CORNER NURSERY/PRESCHOOL

P.O. BOX 173 , ADAMS , N.Y. 13605

THANK you all for all the snacks, presents, and help with all our Christmas Programs.  A special Thanks to our two Santas this year.  We really appreciate all the help.  The students did a wonderful job with both programs.  They sang and performed getting their Christmas trees and being Santa’s elves.  THANKS AGAIN!

The December book orders are due to arrive this week and will be placed in lockers as soon as possible.

This week we will be wrapping our gifts for the parents, making our cards and a few more ornaments for your trees.

MONDAY the children will begin by coloring and completing a Christmas tree picture.  They will finish their gifts.  Everyone will make a Christmas Tree by taking an ice cream cone, covering it with green frosting and then decorating it.  We will use sprinkles, marshmallows, chocolate chips, white chips, butterscotch chips, and assorted candies.  They make a big mess but love it!

The glitter helps Santa find your house and the smell of the oatmeal brings the hungry reindeers.  We will also make paper chains for everyone’s tree.

WEDNESDAY the class will begin by coloring and finishing a Santa picture.  They will make Christmas dust and a long paper chain for their trees.

THURSDAY the students will begin by coloring a Santa picture and finishing his face.  They will make a Christmas box to bring home.  Everyone will also make a horse ornament.  We will share our newspapers and behavior book.

FRIDAY we will begin by coloring and finishing a Reindeer paper.  Everyone will make a Christmas box to bring home.  They will also make a horse ornament, share their newspapers and behavior books.

Classes will resume on Wednesday, January 2^nd, 2013.  In January TBC begins our Number Unit.  Each number has a story that goes with it.  We will practice tracing the numbers and counting with M&M’s.

We will also begin our Special Events each Tuesday and Wednesday.  The events are ways of having fun and learning at the same time.

January 2 our theme is winter.

make PANCAKES for our snack.  Each child will help mix the batter and flip the pancakes.  They are always delicious!

January 14 our theme is ANIMALS.  On Tuesday and Wednesday we will have an ANIMAL PARADE.  Each student may bring in a stuffed animal from home to parade to carry in our parade.  We will discuss all the animals-what they like to eat, where they live, how they protect themselves, etc.

January 21 our theme is the GINGERBREAD MAN.  We will make a Gingerbread Bear.  We will place him in Ms. Tina’s oven to bake.  She leaves her dog Buddy to guard the oven.   Last year Buddy took a nap and the Gingerbread Bear ran away!

January 28 our theme is NIGHT TIME.  We will have a Slumber Party on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Everyone may wear their pajamas and bring a blanket or sleeping bag.  WE will learn about animals that sleep all day and work all night.  We will also learn about adults who work all night.

THANKS AGAIN for everything this year.  HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all our families.
