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.
