Happy Holidays!


WOW! School is out for winter break and our class finished the week off with some fun activities! Besides all of the beautiful art projects the children created, the kids have been into big floor puzzles lately. They use their words to take turns, help put the pieces together and collaborate to finish it as a group!
Las Posadas was a huge hit, thank you to all of the families who came and helped make the event so successful. Thank you also for the generous gifts, I feel overwhelmed with love! 
Have a wonderful break and I am looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks! 

Love, Miss Meika

December Birthdays!

After a full week of hand print angels, gingerbread people and Hanukkah, the children are very excited about the holiday season. Thank you to Winifred, Cooper's mom, who came to do a special reading for us on Friday!
December has also been full of birthday celebrations! This past week both Spencer and Luke turned the big 4! Yipee! Other than that we had a very successful Christmas program with a lot of support from the families. Thank you to all who came! The children were absolutely adorable doves and really knew the songs :). 
On Wednesday Pastor Harold did Chapel and left us with a wonderful message of the importance of giving, even if it is simply saying, "I love you."
Lately we have been playing "what's the missing letter" in class and the children just love it. Please ask them about it! 
I am looking forward to this next week which will be full of all things Christmas and our Las Posadas celebration on Friday!

See you tomorrow!

Advent Season is here!

Yeah! I just love the month of December - lights, trees and warm, fuzzy feelings! The Sea Turtles have started off December right by decorating our class Christmas tree, making Advent calendars, listening to the nativity story and lots of art projects that involve glitter and the colors red and green. We also celebrated Greer's 4th birthday! The children have been practicing their songs for the Christmas program which I am looking so much forward to!
The themes for this next week will consist of angels, gingerbread and Hanukkah!
See you tonight!
Love, Miss Meika
