Merry Christmas!

Last week our Kindergartners took time to spread love and joy to our school community by creating handmade candy cane huggers and delivering them to our faculty and staff. We told each one of them how much we appreciated them and what they meant to us. Here is a show from our special day of spreading kindness to others. 

This week we have been studying Christmas and creating many different Christmas crafts in celebration of this holiday season. Some of our exciting projects included pinecone Christmas trees, addition Christmas trees, Rudolph made using our feet and hands, a special snack of hot chocolate, and a countdown to Christmas bell.

We also surprised Miss Todd with this movie where we told her what she should ask Santa to bring her for Christmas. This is super cute! I hope you enjoy it!

Finally, we culminated our study of Christmas this week by participating in Gingerbread House Day and by celebrating with a Christmas party!

I hope you all enjoyed our Gingerbread House Day and our Christmas party! Here is a show and some pictures from these events! Special thanks to our room mom for all of the hard work that she put into our party! The kids had a wonderful time! I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in January!

Sharing and Caring Service Project

This holiday season we are talking about how it is important to give back to our community and to show kindness and love to others. In order to show our students how they can help to make a positive difference in our world, we have them be a part of real life experiences through service projects. Our Kindergartners were so excited to participate in our Sharing and Caring service project today! They traveled to Chambrel Senior Living Center in our neighborhood and spread Christmas joy and love through a Christmas musical. They also passed out Christmas cards that they had made and peppermint sticks. The residents really enjoyed their performance and have already invited us to return! We hope you enjoy our show. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

We hope that you were able to come and see our Thanksgiving Musical and Feast today! This was our culminating activity for our study of Thanksgiving. Our students created their costumes and learned the songs and motions during the week. This video is a recording of our live performance from today. We hope that you enjoy it! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think. I have also included some pictures from our Thanksgiving Musical and Feast and from our turkey cupcake snack that we made today. Happy Thanksgiving!
