Happy Holidays! ⛄ I hope that you all have a great winter break and holiday season! This will be my last blog of 2017 and I look forward to all that is to come in 2018! I will not be here next Monday and Tuesday and will miss seeing all of you at the Gingerbread House party! My family has always dreamed of going to New York City at Christmas time (I have never been to NYC at all) and my parents surprised me, my husband, and my sisters and they are taking us on Saturday! I will miss you all but I know you will have fun on Tuesday in our classroom.
December 19th at 1:00 PM Gingerbread Houses in our classroom: Parents are invited to come and make a gingerbread house with your child. Siblings are fine to come but we will not have enough supplies for them to make a gingerbread house. This would be a great time for you to have special one-on-one time with your kindergartener but we understand getting babysitters can be hard at times.
January 3rd: School resumes after winter break
Over the past three weeks, we studied Sinterklaas, Las Posadas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. We have had so much fun learning about each country and the holiday that they celebrate. We compared and contrasted to see what was similar and different about each holiday. Today we had our Polar Express day to celebrate Christmas! We drank hot chocolate and read The Polar Express, we colored and read a mini-book, we talked about the steps to make homemade crockpot hot chocolate, we made reindeer food, and we did a science experiment that involved ice and trains! Ask your child about it to find out more. :)
Have a wonderful winter break! I am so thankful for all of you and your sweet children!
Love,
Mrs. James
