Wow it’s December!  Christmas is almost here. Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love celebrating Christmas and the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is the true reason we celebrate Christmas!

Letter G . We learned about giraffes, gorillas, gingerbread and God!

Our monthly Bible Verse was Luke 2: 10-11 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of the great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.” I love this scripture.

 We read Giraffes Can’t Dance, Gorilla Be Good, The Gingerbread Pirate, and The First Christmas Story. we worked in our journals and finished the week in our workbooks.

We learned to identify, sound and write the letter G-start with a big curve down, up little line, and little line across. The Zoophonic for G is “Gordo Gorilla says ‘Guh’ with the motion being pealing a banana.

We made a “gorilla” craft for our Creation Book and learned some interesting facts about the gorilla. Did you know that gorillas are shy animals and not very aggressive at all? We learned gorillas can weigh up to 500 lbs .

 We continue to practice counting by 1’s and 10’s daily during circle time. We also focused on sequencing and patterns during centers.
