St. Nick was Here! We have an Elf!!!

We made stockings on Monday and St. Nick left candy canes in them on Monday night! 
St. Nick left candy canes in our stockings!

He also left us our very own Elf on the Shelf...if you haven't read the book, the story says that the elf watches us and each night magically goes to the North Pole to report what he has seen to Santa. See our "Elf Watch" section in the right sidebar.
We received an Elf on the Shelf from St. Nick!
We made a wreath for St. Lucia on Tuesday by tearing paper. This makes us use the muscles in our hands in a new way and gets us ready for writing words! Can you make a paper tearing project at home? Paper mache maybe??

Wednesday we worked on letter Y for our JOY projects. We made a reindeer with a bright red nose like Rudolph. We also glued all the projects from the week together to spell out JOY.

Can you see the J-O-Y?

On Thursday we made a gift for parents! SHHHHH! We can't tell you what it is but you will love it!!! We also had the option to paint a triangle tree during playtime.

Don't forget about our Holiday Sing on Tuesday, December 20th at 5:30pm at St. Joseph's Church, lower level.
