Rainbow Room Newsletter
December 9th -13th
This week:
Hello Rainbow Room families, I hope you have all enjoyed the weekend and stayed warm in the very cold weather we have been having! It looks like it will be warming up a bit, but with rain to come :(
Last week we learned about Hanukkah and the letter H. If you haven't had a chance to look into the classroom yet and see all the beautiful artwork, you should! It will be going home soon.
This week we begin learning about Christmas and the letter "C"! We will be decorating ornaments, getting creative by making puffy Christmas trees, and decorating stockings!
We will be singing some fun Christmas songs and learning the Reindeer Hokey Pokey. The Hokey Pokey is one of our classes favorite songs as well as 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!
We will hear some fun winter stories as well.
SHARING: Letter C

Book fair will be held December 9th- 13th. It will be open at drop off and pick up times as well as after winter concerts. All funds raised from the book fair will go toward the purchase of new books for the classrooms!
