December Recap:

In December, the children had an enjoyable and festive month. They all enjoyed so many great holiday activities throughout the school. They had a great time practicing for their recitals; it was great to see the smile on their faces. The performances were a great success, and we thank the families for joining us. For December, the theme was Celebrations Around the World. All the classes learned about the many different types of holidays and traditions that are celebrated. The book of the month was The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein; the children knew the importance of being kind by sharing and giving to others. We got to practice the act of giving by participating in our Hathaway-Sycamore gift drive, which was a huge success. The children were excited to bring in gifts to help needy children. Thank you to all the families that participated!

For Enrichment, all the classes created some delicious healthy treats in cooking class, they learned in Spanish class the days of the week and months of the year, and in art, they worked on some fun candy cane projects. In music class, the children enjoyed some holiday music and the music of the Nutcracker as well. The children continue their work on ABCMouse.com for computer class; they appreciate it.

January News:

In January, the theme is Winter, Snow, and Ice. The children will learn about wintertime, weather change, and snow animals. The classes will focus on Antarctica's continent and all the inhabitants for their geography unit. The Mitten will be our literature book to help the children learn what happens to winter animals during the cold season.

Have a safe and happy holiday, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year!
