 * == **PreK** == || **//__ READING __://** **Winter, spring, summer, fall! Pre-K will be studying the seasons of the year during the month of December. Each season offers something new and special. We will be reading books and poems and singing songs about the seasons. We will also continue to develop language as we respond to questions, as well as develop print awareness as we review concepts such as where we start reading on a page and how we read from left to right.**
 * //__ WRITING __:// The children’s handwriting skills have been improving as they sign in each day. The children also develop writing skills as teachers model writing for them. We have also been reviewing the vowels and the letters of the alphabet.**
 * //__ MUSIC __:// We will be singing our seasons theme song, along with traditional holiday songs such as The Dreidel Song and Jingle Bells.**
 * //__ MATH __//: Math skills will include learning about order (first, second, last and next) as well as recognizing numbers in our environment. The children will also practice counting to ten and learn how to create sets of ten.**
 * //__ TECHNOLOGY: __// The PreK children work on developing their literacy skills on starfall.com. You can download this website on your home computer. There are lots of holiday games to play during this time of year!**
 * //__ Social studies/science :__// What is the weather like during each season? What do children do to stay warm during the winter. How do we dress for cold weather? Can you get dressed all by yourself? Do you know the names of the different clothes we wear on cold days? We will also introduce the children to the different holidays celebrated in December: Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa and Las Posadas.**
