Dear Pre-K Families,                                        December 12, 2012

This is turning out to be our Reindeer Week in pre-k. We have visiting reindeer (pretend, but almost life size) in our playground. We’re reading Jan Brett’s wonderfully illustrated The Wild Christmas Reindeer book. Our learning facts topic is reindeer, and we’ll be putting reindeer decorations on healthy muffins at snack time on Thursday. Oooo la la. (Did you know that reindeer hooves change from sponge-like in the summer for walking on the tundra, to the pads shrinking and tightening to expose the rims for dealing with icy winter conditions?)

Your kids handled shopping for holiday gifts at the famous Dike Newell Holiday Fair with ease on Tuesday. Brace yourselves for fabulous treasures, that were proudly and thoughtfully picked out for you by your little ones.

Sincerely, Mrs. Bridgman and Mrs. Peavey
