The children had a fun and busy week before Christmas break.
Monday: We started the week by reading the story the Gingerbread Baby. The story is a fun twist on the original Gingerbread boy story. The children made jingle bell shakers and put the finishing touches on their family gifts.
Tuesday: The Christmas play was a huge hit! I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.
Wednesday: Gingerbread day – the children decorated paper gingerbread cookies, did a math size activity and heard another story about the Gingerbread baby.
Thursday: Party Day – After hearing the original story How the Grinch Stole Christmas the class took turns making trail mix (some of the kids brought their trail mix home while a few went to the trail mix station for seconds). They also enjoyed a Christmas cookie and mini cupcake. After snack they had five stations they could go to – Grinch puppet making, stickers and card decorating, beading, legos (a class favorite) and winter animals in the block section. It was fun to see them relax and socialize together. A special thanks to all the parents for the goodies for the parties and help and support this year.
Merry Christmas!
