At morning meeting we had our tweet and greet with a ho, ho, ho. We talked about the letter R and named some words that begin with the letter. We also talked our pageant songs through concentrating on what some of the words in the songs mean. For example, "the cattle are lowing" is a verse we sing. Lowing is not a typical word. These are excellent opportunities to grow our vocabulary.
Our snack today was yogurt, cheese sticks and graham crackers. After snack we took a few minutes to build Mat Man Santa. Everyone got a building piece. Once we were finished, we used the pieces from Mat Man Santa to build the letter R. We used his leg, ear and foot. We had some giggles about that. Much more fun than saying we used a long line, short line and small curve. Table work followed which included HWT workbooks for letter R and number 8.
We had Godly Play today. For the month of December, our Godly Play time will be spent in the church sanctuary with Abouna working on our Christmas pageant. All the children have chosen their part, and we are working on lines and songs.
After lunch we had Show and Share. We ended our day outside in the welcoming sunshine.
