Happy December!
Thank you all for taking the time to meet with me for parent-teacher conferences. It was great getting to know each of you and learn more about your child.
December will be another busy month at St. Ambrose Academy!
We are learning letters and letter sounds. We are beginning to put sounds together and read cvc (consonant, vowel, consonant) words. Please read to/with your child at home to help build reading skills. It really is the most important thing you can do to help your child to become a successful reader.
In math classes we are working on building number sense, counting, and addition readiness.
We are working hard to learn the Sign of the Cross and Our Father prayers. We have begun working in the Atrium with Miss Jenn and Mr. Luke. Half of the class goes each week and the other half goes the next week (so children work in the Atrium every other week). We will be learning about Advent- Waiting for Baby Jesus. It begins on Sunday, December 1st this year. On Mondays, we will gather as a school community and have a short prayer service and candle lighting. In class we will be counting down on our Advent chain, trying to do good deeds and reading an Advent story about a Bear on a journey to find Baby Jesus.
