Traditions Week 1

Hope your having a healthy, jolly start to December.  We are learning about winter holidays from around the world.  We started with Evergreen trees this week and found out they are evergreen's, because the stay green all year round.  We read stories about evergreen trees that became decorated, like some of us do for Christmas, for animals.  Here are some of the trees we made this week.  We will have them up at the Holiday Sing and you can bring them home from there.

St. Lucia, is the patron saint of light and in Sweden students have a parade to celebrate.  They wear mostly white and wreaths on their heads with candles.  Your child should have brought them home but here are some pictures of them.

We worked on our book about ourselves and started an alphabet book.  We used crayons and watercolors.  We can't wait to share them at the end of the year.  Here are some photos of centers where the kiddos created with the loose parts.   Looks so cool!
