May the celebrating continue. This week in the Oak Room we traveled to Sweden to learn about the European holiday of St. Lucia’s Day! The children made star and candle headbands and enjoyed a presentation by our own Miss Kristen all about this special day. She also helped us make some delicious St. Lucia rolls!
The children in Sweden also like to make gingerbread treats for this holiday, so we took the opportunity to make our own gingerbread boys and girls as well as a fun gingerbread boy craft to go along with the traditional gingerbread man story!
We will be spending our last week before break talking about the Christmas season and what it means to give to others and this important time with our families. Our class party will take place on Thursday afternoon. If your child would like to bring in a class gift, we will be having them open those at our first circle and putting them with any other “donations.” This is an excellent opportunity for us to teach the children the joy of giving something without having to get something in return.
The children will also be getting their classroom cleaned up before the break. This includes cubbies! Please check on Friday to make sure that all items except changes of clothing and nap packs are taken out of the cubbies so that they may be cleaned over the break. Thanks for the help!
