It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Holy wow! We can't believe it's already Christmastime! Where has our year gone? We know you've probably seen remnants of glue and glitter coming home, but we thought we'd show you some photos of what has been happening in the classroom. We've had a present wrapping station, where the children can work with paper, scissors, tape and boxes. They've really loved it, and have surprised us with their talents! We read The Gingerbread Baby, and we decorated "gingerbread houses" (really they were cardboard boxes, but you wouldn't have known it when we were done with them!). We have also read so many opportunities to sing, both with Miss Jenny, and just on our own. We are learning new holiday songs as well as the old favorites. We have also had a nativity set in the classroom. It's always funny to listen in to the children playing with the set. Sometimes they tell the story of the Baby Jesus, and sometimes they add blocks, the farm set, and maybe even a few cars to the mix! We love this time of year because we get to see the wonder of it all through the eyes of 3, 4, and 5-year-olds. Is there anything better than that?

We hope you all can join us for the Christmas sing-along. The 3-year-old class will gather on Thursday the 18th at 11am, and the 4s will sing on Wednesday the 17th  at 11am. Remember, there is no school this Friday the 19th for the 4s, and we will all see you back after the new year. Our first day back is Tuesday, January 6th. Have a safe and wonderful holiday break!
