Our classroom has been a very busy place. We got our letters to Santa done and our Christmas countdown has been on since the first of December! LOL! We have been thinking about past Christmass' and various holiday symbols and traditions and practiced our oral communication skills as we each took turns presenting these to the class. We have also learned about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa which are celebrated at this time of year! Ask your child to tell you about these celebrations! We made 'Holiday' Cards and even some ornaments to give as gifts (these are coming home tomorrow....so no pictures of the finished products as I don't want to spoil the surprise). We talked about how these ornaments are more precious than anything you can buy in a store because they are made with love. We have also enjoyed carol singing in the gym with the whole school! Only two more crazy, fun-filled days remain before the break! Fasten your seat-belt...it's going to be fun!
