Holidays

We've been having so much fun here at Early Childhood for the holidays, that I've been falling behind on posting about it!

First of all, I want to say thank you for allowing me to spend each day with your children. They bring so much happiness to me, and I'm grateful I get to be a part of their lives. Thank you for the gifts you sent, and for the families who were able to send in items for our parties or spend some time with us during them. I want to wish you all the best during the holidays and time away from school. We'll be back in January refreshed and ready to learn!

Now for some pictures!

Here are a few from the day before our Thanksgiving break, making turkeys and eating at our feast.





Here the kids are wearing their "L is for Lion" hats, and working on books about "The Very Hungry Reindeer." They are drawing and using some letters to tell their stories.



We have decorated our doors like gingerbread houses and keep adding more candy! Here some kids are practicing making patterns while they color candy canes.


We even had Santa come and work one day! :-)


We got some fine motor practice, as well as sorting practice, with this M&M activity. The kids sorted their candies by color and then used them to make a Christmas tree. (And finally, eat them!!)







And then, we just got a little silly while making presents for our parents:
