Christmas: Tuesday



                      We wrote out Christmas cards to family and friends this morning!
                                 Pretending to ride on "Santa's sleigh" in the block area.






                                             Enjoying the beautiful December weather!






                                                                We had chapel today!



                                                          Mrs. Stahl led chapel today!
                                            Our offering helper bringing the offering to the altar.

                      After chapel we participated in some running and exercising on the field!
We also practiced our songs for the Christmas program. Continue practicing the songs with your child at home too!


            After snack our friends read one another Christmas stories before circle time!


                                    Our calendar helper counting the 8 days of December.
                                             Our meteorologist predicted a sunny day.
At circle time we read, The Hat by Jan Brett. This story is about how a winter stocking kept a hedge hog warm. After the story we played a game identifying different Christmas objects in a stocking.






    No peaking was allowed...we had to use our listening ears and hands to explore and guess the different objects. 



                Ask your child if they remember what objects they identified in the stocking!






We continued to wrap Christmas gifts at centers. We can't wait to share the special Christmas gifts we made for our parents!









Making Christmas cards at the writing center.


                                              Working together to build  mat man.







                                                 Wrapping blocks with gift wrap.




At Jesus time Zippy shared that he is sometimes scared of the dark. We reminded him to not be afraid because God is with us and that God has actually done some pretty spectacular things in the dark.
I talked about the multitude of Angels sharing the good news of Jesus being born to shepherds on Christmas night.
Ask your child how they think the shepherds felt when they saw Baby Jesus on Christmas night ?
