Well, here it is...our last week before Christmas break! Our
trip to see Disney on Ice has come and gone. I hope everyone
enjoyed the show as much as I did. Just seeing the
expressions on the children's faces made all the hassles of the
trip worthwhile! I will get some pictures from our trip
online as soon as I can.
Today
was a very busy day...therefore I did not have time to get our
weekly newsletter typed...maybe tomorrow. Until then...you
may wish to take a look at our December Photo page. I've
updated it with our Letters to Santa and some other projects we
have completed this month!

Only 16 days
till Christmas!
Our tree is finally up in our classroom. We still have a bit
of decorating to do, but hopefully it will be completed by Monday.
A big thank you to Miss Laura and Miss Shelli who sent in some
ornaments for us to make.
This week we
have been busy with many activities. On Tuesday we wrote
letters to Santa. I hope to add some of these to our site
next week (and maybe see about getting them published in the News
Times).
We
completed another writing activity as a follow up to a book we
read...Santa's New Suit. In this story Santa was
tired of his traditional red suit and wanted a new style.
The result was quite funny! After reading the story the
children created their own suit for Santa. We had everything
from a rainbow suit to suits with stripes and polka dots.
We've also
worked on our big bulletin board. We now have a big
Christmas tree with lots of special ornaments. Since we have
been learning about our shapes, I thought it would interesting if
we created ornaments from our basic shapes. Next week we
will tally the number of each shape and create a graph to add to
our bulletin board. I will add a picture to our December
photos page when we have finished our board!
Finally, below
you will find a link to a Christmas site you might wish to visit
with your child. I haven't viewed everything on the site but
did find quite a few interesting activities, including a Santa
Tracker:)

So sorry for the delay in updating our page. We've taken
lots of pictures but with decoy, our schedule has been all messed
up and I just haven't had the time to add anything new to our
site. Thank goodness the Pepsi coolers are now out of our
room and Miss Eugenia is back with us, so hopefully we will be back
on schedule for awhile!
Even
with decoy however... the kids have still been very busy
with lots of Christmas activities. We are very proud of our
December quilt that is hanging on our outside bulletin board!
Isn't
it beautiful?
I am really going to hate taking it apart. This quilt idea
came from the KinderKorner website...I find many of my art ideas
here!
To
see some close up pictures of our quilt as well as other pictures
of our many Christmas activities, be sure to check out our Photo
Gallery.
