We celebrated our January Literacy Party this week with the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff.

We read the story and then wrote a fun journal response!

We made our own cute mice to take home!

To practice some counting skills, we counted cookies up to 8.

And then we enjoyed our very own cookie and milk snack!

We have been so busy this month with our alphabet study!  This month we have been working on the letters M, N, and O.  In addition to letter recognition, we are working very hard on learning letter formation and the sound the letter makes.

We practice building letters using various materials like M&Ms.

Although the weather here hasn’t been very “winter-like”, we are still learning about all of the things we do during the winter.

We practiced matching patterns and colors using different kinds of mittens to match!

We practiced taking turns, and sitting for longer periods of time. We followed directions and used our recipe to help guide us along! A lot of our ingredients are white, which is perfect because we are learning about the color white this month! Check out our muffin-making process below.
