Our Christmas Party and Program

 Daily Question:  Are you excited for Christmas?  
(We were sad to hear of Tanner's illness and wish him well for the holidays.) 










Christmas Party Activities:  We had fun making crafts, frosting cookies, and painting ornaments for our tree today!



We had a lot of fun frosting sugar cookies today!  Funny comments overheard: Maelo frosted his star in yellow and then added red sprinkles and evaluating his creation said, "This looks like cherries!  I love cherries!"  

Other lively conversations included the following tidbit from Harris, "But Jesus was not really born on Christmas! (I was thinking he would talk about what Lena reminded us of last week, that Jesus was probably born in the Spring around Easter time)...because there was no SNOW!" Harris reasoned.  The other children agreed.  (Apparently, only children who live in snow can celebrate Christmas!;)

Program:
Must Be Santa

Dashing Through the Snow (Jingle Bells)

Nativity Play
Away in a Manger 
We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

Student ABC Book Review with Parents and Presents

*Refreshments: Gingerbread Boy Cookies, Clementines, Sugar cookies, Vegetable Tray, Candy Canes, and Lemon Water.

Each student should have taken home their hand painted ornaments, a small present from me, and a present for Mom and Dad (photo ornament), their "Giving" drawing, and their sugar cookies!


Special Thanks to Jessica Walker and Tori Hundley for their help today.

Thank You Parents for raising such wonderful children and for your support!

(Thank you, Ben, Harris, and Lukas for your gifts to me!  That made my day.)

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  
(See you in January 2015!)
