December was a short month together before a relaxing winter break. We beaded candy cane ornaments and painted ceramic trees, which we first formed from clay. We sang Hanukkah songs and lit the menorah. We sang Christmas carols and played jingle bells, and we talked about being away from each other for 17 days

Now it is a new year and new works are being tried. The children have noticeably grown physically, socially and academically since the beginning of the year and some even looked taller to us upon returning from winter break.

Some popular works are eggshell crushing, sewing, geographical puzzle maps, orange juicing, writing numbers on chalkboards (“wet, dry, try”), and Multiplication Bead Bars.

Reminders:

-It is getting cold! Please send your child to school with a hat and mittens. We go outside everyday.

-There is no school for our friends on Friday, January 13th and Monday January 16th.

-Send your Friday folder back to school every Monday.

-If your child stays on Tuesday afternoon, please note our library trips dates on your calendar.

Thank you for all that you do, Parents!
