Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Family Feast. We had a wonderful time and it was great seeing some of your extended families join us.
This Friday is Field Day at school. Please remember to bring a white t-shirt in by Tuesday so we can make class shirts for this fun event. On Friday, each class will be in charge of setting up one event. We are partnering up with Mrs. Drawert's three year class to set up an obstacle course. I know the kids are going to have a blast. What a great way to encourage good sportsmanship, teamwork, and new challenges.
Also, this week we will be practicing our holiday song A LOT! You will most likely catch me singing it randomly in class to help the kids get prepared. We will also be getting ready for the holiday season by making holiday tree garland. By Christmas, our classroom will be filled with a ridiculous amount of holiday ornaments and decorations created by your little ones. At my home, my tree is filled with decorations my daughter made at this school, and I smile every time I look at it!
All of this art your children create help them to become active learners, expand their imagination and exercise their creativity. It develops their small motor control and eye-hand coordination. It also sharpens their power of observations and allows for more self-expression. I find them explaining their painting to their friends, which expands their vocabulary. I also find them working together to create and engaging in conversation, laughing, and sharing tools.
Looking forward to the holiday season, the glitter, and the magic of Christmas with your children.
