It has been another brilliant month at the Maple room. My friends were very excited to bring mom and dad to the classroom for date nights. It was so much fun to be able to show our parents our favorite lessons and do some together.
This month we continued our lessons on North America and made many special projects including colored corn, turkeys and dream catchers. We spent a lot of time this month thinking about what it means to be thankful and all the things we are thankful for. We had many interesting things to say as we passed our sharing stone around J.
We also discovered our love for cooking this month as we made our own thanksgiving meal of apple pie and corn bread. The children enjoyed using the apple peeler, cutting them up and using a mold the press in the filling. You all have wonderful helpers for this thanksgiving so involve them and enjoy!!
As for the coming month we only have three weeks left before Christmas break. We will be putting on our holiday cheer as we continue to engage in our “big work”. We will learn about all the upcoming holidays. In the Maple room we celebrate Christmas by bringing something from the class list for the whole class. We have a class wish list and all our friends are welcome to bring an item from it. We will then open them on the last day before break as a group.
I would like to say a special thank you to all our wonderful parent volunteers this month.
Hope you have a good, warm and safe holiday season.

Some notes:
1. If it is 32 degrees and above outside, we will go to play outdoors. Therefore please send your child with their winter coats/hats/gloves etc.
2. If you have not already done so please change out the clothes in their cubbies so they have a warm set of clothes to change into if the need arises.
3. Please check your child’s cubby (where they hang their coats) for their work to take home.
