Shortened Week

Hello Parents

This week we have only one day and that day is very short. Normally we have a holiday party on our last day. We will have a special day but we did not call it a party since our time together is short. We will be having a special snack. Waffles with strawberries,whipped cream and some chocolate milk to drink. Santa is scheduled to visit the children on that day. We will be sending home the gifts that the children have made for you in the past few weeks. They are all very excited to bring these home to you.

We will have another pajama day for the children in January when things are at lull and we need something to look forward too. The winter may be long so we will need some excitement to keep us going.

I hope that you and all of your family have a wonderful holiday and relaxing new year.

The Holidays are Here

We have changed most of the materials in the classroom. The children were so interested in the new work on the shelves. The art area has exciting new glueing works. There are gingerbread men to decorate and snow flakes to cover in glitter. There are poinsettia's to sort and santa's to pour. We have woven holiday items all over the classroom. The children are really becoming interested in counting. New have numbers on a tray and then items for them to place next to the correct number. The kids are really working together to finish this work.

We have a countdown to our vacation calendar each day a couple of children will mark down how many days do school we have left. The are very excited by this task. We are going to have a party the last day of school. So they are counting down to a party.

I am looking forward to having some of you help create our holiday gift.

Have a good week.
