We had a busy December. We always seem to be short of time especially with the snow days. We had a nice Hanukkah party on Monday and a combination Christmas/birthday party today. Thank you to those who have provided things for our parties.

The children played outside in the snow today. Thank you for sending their outdoor things. They have been very anxious to get out and play. Be sure to send all their outdoor clothes when we return on January 4th.

We appreciate the gift card we received from the class. It was very generous. We loved the drawings the children made.

We wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Winter is here! Please remember to send snowpants and boots with your child. We try to go outside to play if the temperature cooperates. Be sure to label everything with your child's name. An extra pair of socks is a good idea too. Your child can practice getting ready to go outside--snowpants, boots, coat, hat and gloves in that order. If you want to leave the snow clothes here during the week, we will send them home on Fridays.

Our class spent the first week of December learning a little about Europe. This included reindeer, wolves and wild boars. We also read some fairy tales. This week we are learning about Hanukkah with our party taking place on Friday. Next week we will spend on Christmas. Our Christmas party will be Friday, December 18th.

Winter break begins December 21st with school resuming January 4th.
