This week is all about CHRISTMAS. Everyone is very excited about the magic of Christmas. Today we talked about why we are excited:
*We get presents from Santa
*We get to decorate and I LOVE all the lights
*My mommy makes really good cookies and I get to eat them!
*I like Christmas because everyone is happy.
*I like getting the presents.
*Everywhere you look there are lights, and Santa, and presents, and lots of good things.
*Christmas just makes me excited.
I love their responses. May we all find the magic of Christmas in our hearts and allow ourselves to feel like a child again.
We are not studying a new letter of the week. We are reviewing letters A-L. Our Preschoolers did a great job writing each letter on the Writing Boaards - in upper and lower case. They also did a great job with each letter sound.
In the Art Center today, we made a Santa. Several of our littles ones were ho, ho, hoing while making their Santa. So Cute.
In Religion we read the Nativity Story and lit the third candle on our Advenet Wreath. Today we lit the rose candle and learned that it is called the Candle of Joy or the Shepherd's Candle. It is meant to remind us of the joy that the world experienced at the birth of Jesus as well as the joy we feel midpoint of Advent.
We are also learning to "Sign" Merry Christmas.
We will continue to review our letters and have fun with our many Christmas Crafts, stories, songs, and dancing.
