The Holiday Season is here! This time of year is filled with lots of festive activities, music, lights, decorations, family, and fun. It is my favorite time of the year and it is always a fun time with the kids! The next three weeks will be spent on the Winter Holiday theme.For this first week, we are working on letter Qq for queen. Red and Green will be our colors of the week throughout the Holiday Season. Along with learning how to write letter Qq, we made quesadillas. They are a simple and easy snack that you can make at home.
We read several great Holiday stories including Merry Christmas Big Hungry Bear along with Reindeer Afraid to Fly. We made a reindeer decoration to go along with our story. The morning class had the opportunity to go to the high school on Thursday morning to watch the Christmas Concert dress rehearsal. The PM class went shopping at the Santa Shop to buy gifts for their families.
Below are the Holiday songs that we are learning in school if you would like to practice them at home:
