December News

Hello parents and thank you for visiting our blog!

We have now moved into December with new themes to discover. Our themes for the month include: Winter Environments, Europe, Holiday Art, and Winter Celebrations. Our practical life and cultural areas are filled with new materials, and the children are having fun exploring and learning.

We have recently done some planting outside in our new garden boxes. The children participated with digging holes, planting the seeds, and watering our plants.

Ms. Jessie (P1) has shared some amazing information during our Spanish class last week. She showed pictures, clothing, arts and crafts, music, and instruments from her country of Costa Rica. She played music and taught the children a traditional dance.

Ms. Diana (P2) visited our classroom and discussed her country of Honduras. She shared cultural information and showed us a traditional dance called La Punta.

P3 has started our Service Project this week. We have adopted a family through the Salvation Army and will be collecting donations outside our classroom through the week of December 13th. The children have helped to put together trail mix bags which are placed outside our classroom as well. Through your generous donations, we will be able to supply our adopted family with clothing and items needed for the holiday. Thank you for all your kind donations thus far.

Ms. Melanie (Julian’s mom) visited our classroom on Tuesday and discussed the traditions and foods that go with Chanukah. She showed us the Menorah and talked about the story of Chanukah.

Our Red Rock Canyon Field Trip with the kindergarteners was a true success thanks to all our amazing volunteers!!
