This week we decorated invitations for our class party, made jingle bells and started learning our Christmas songs. We read Careful, Santa! and A New Friend for Bear. The kiddos also enjoyed playing with the little people nativity set, pretend cookie baking in our kitchen, and decorating (& re-decorating) the classroom tree!
I asked the kids to name some of Santa's reindeer. We got lots of "Rudolph" and a few creative answers :) I also asked them "What do elves do?" and got some interesting responses as well. Check out our big sheet of answers outside the classroom door!
We will continue with our Christmas theme next week. We will be using the donated items you sent in for a candy cane science experiment and we will be making some magic reindeer food for them to use on Christmas eve.
Please check their cubbies/folders/backpacks for their Christmas Tea invitations! We need to know how many parents/grownups will attend per child by next Friday.
A reminder that we try to get the kids outside for at least a little while each day. Please make sure they have warm coats/hats/layers for this. Getting them outside is not only good practice for putting on/taking off winter-clothing....that cool, fresh air and sunlight is good for their health this time of year too.
