The next couple of weeks will be all about Christmas. We will be making shape Rudolph's, snow globes, and gingerbread houses and trees. The kids will be making special reindeer food to sprinkle on the lawn on Christmas Eve and getting into the spirit by reading, Twas the Night Before Christmas! We will continue to talk about the importance of being helpful. How we can help in our community, at school, and our families at home.
We will be talking about how it feels to both give and receive gifts. I also touch on need verses want. This is a great time of year to teach your child about giving to others. Allowing your child to be a part of doing something for others will be an act they will remember and want to repeat. The feeling they get from spreading kindness is a gift you can give your child. There are so many great ways to show them... the Salvation Army Christmas Angels, MCACC blanket donations, and the bell ringers at the store. The best way to teach kindness is not by explaining it, but by modeling it.
Briella's name was chosen for our book club this week.
Week of December 3rd
This week our theme is Gingerbread. We will be reading Gingerbread Baby and continuing to practice our holiday show song, Bells are Ringing.
We will be using our sense of smell and touch while playing with gingerbread scented cloud dough. The kids will also be making cinnamon ornaments to hang from the tree and taste testing gingerbread cookies.
I am in need of one parent volunteer for Friday night's show. I will need you to sit with us in the pew and help guide the children to the stage and back. You will be able to watch all the performances. It just helps to have extra adults with the kids as it can be hard for them to sit still during the show. We are lucky enough to have the very first pew, so hopefully they will be entertained by the other children.
Also, please let me know if you will or will not be making it on Friday night. I don't want to hold things up waiting for children that are not able to make it. I do hope everyone can attend, but understand you may have other commitments.
We are not wearing anything special, as I thought you may enjoy dressing your little one up for the big show.
Thank you,
Kelly
