Holiday Traditions

This week we started talking about traditions around the world. We have learned so many interesting things. We have also been working really hard on our projects this week. Some of our projects will decorate our stage next week at our Holiday Sing (psst, it's Wednesday the 20th at 5:30pm) and one of our projects is a top secret mystery project that we hope you will love!

Please remember that books for the Holiday Book Exchange are due on MONDAY DEC. 18TH. Your child should bring one book that is wrapped and has a label with only his/her name on it.

The Night Tree

This week we started our unit for December on Traditions and Holidays around the world.  We will talk about Kwanza, Hanukka, St. Lucia, La Posada, and of course, Christmas.  We also discuss that some friends do not celebrate any holidays, not even birthdays.  We started with our book, The Night Tree.  It is a wonderful story of a family that goes out every year and decorates an evergreen tree for the animals with edible ornaments.  This is why we went out to Silverwood.  We sang holiday songs, decorated trees for animals to enjoy and had hot chocolate.  It was really cold out there! 

This set of photos, we are making night trees by sizing different colored strips of paper.  These will be decorating the stage for our Holiday sing, on Wednesday, December 20, 5:30 pm, at St. Joseph's Church-lower level.
