Our story this week is Who Will Help Santa This Year?  by Jerry Pallotta. This year, the job is just too big. Santa Claus needs help in his workshop! He posts a sign in his yard, and soon the applicants start arriving. But the mermaids get the toys wet. The fairies leave glitter everywhere. The gnomes think brussels sprouts make great presents. And the wizards have turned Santa into a frog! Just when things are looking desperate, the elves arrive to save the day! A companion book to Who Will Guide My Sleigh Tonight?, this humorous peek behind the scenes at the North Pole is told in Jerry Pallotta’s kid-friendly style and beautifully illustrated by David Biedrzycki. 

Our Ready to Read theme this month is Phonological Awareness.  Phonological awareness consists of skills that typically develop gradually and sequentially through the late preschool period.  They are developed with direct training and exposure.
Awareness of sounds in a language
Awareness of rhymes,
​Awareness that sentences can be broken down into words, syllables, and sounds
Ability to talk about, reflect upon, and manipulate sounds

Understanding the relationship between  written and spoken language

Please join us as we sing Christmas Songs and listen to our story.
