  December     December has been a fun, full month in the Limes! We started the month with our Gingerbread theme and then learned about different Holidays. The pretend play center was transformed into a Gingerbread Bakery. It was a favorite! They had the opportunity to build gingerbread houses in the block cente. We counted gingerbread men and we tried gingerbread cookies. We learned about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. We made patterns with Christmas objects. We talked about being kind and giving.         We continued to focus on identifying  whether the number of objects in one group is more than, less than or equal to the number of objects in another group and c ounting out up to three objects from a larger set, pairing each object with a number name.     We continued working on answering WH questions after we read a story. We focused on the letters H, D and R.  Have a WONDERFUL holiday break and we will see you guys in January!!...
