December is the month of many celebrations at Center Grove Montesssori! This week we talked about Hannukah and St. Nicholas Day. We made latkes, lit our menorah and played many games of dreidel. We also made special paper shoes for St. Nicholas to leave a treat in. The children really enjoyed learning about the differences and similarities of these holidays to those we celebrate with our families.
Next week we will be discussing the European holiday of St. Lucia. Also, we, of course, will be making our usual Christmas crafts and baking some delicious treats for our party on the 19th. From 2-3 pm on that day we will be having our Christmas celebration with games and treats to share. In lieu of staff gifts we ask that gift givers bring in an item for our classroom. A wish list will be posted on the bulletin board by the front door.
A reminder: we have had a few issues with children not having a change of clothing at school. Please take the time to check your child’s cubby to make sure they have everything they need.
Please Note:
It is getting chilly outside. Please remember that we do take the children outside if the temperature is above 32 degrees, so they need to have appropriate outdoor clothing. With the cold mornings and warmer afternoons, we find dressing in layers to work best in keeping the kids comfortable.
Child quote of the week:
Andrew: “These onions don’t like my eyes.”
