In December, the children had a month filled with fun and festive activities. They thoroughly enjoyed the various holiday events in their classrooms, with the holiday recital being the highlight. Preparing for and practicing their songs was especially exciting for them, and they did an amazing job with their performances. The theme for the month was Celebrations Around the World, and each class explored the different holidays and traditions celebrated globally during December. The book of the month was The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, which taught the children valuable lessons about kindness, sharing, and giving to others. On that note, our Hathaway-Sycamore gift drive was a great success, and the children were thrilled to contribute gifts to help those in need. A big thank you to all the families who participated!

In January, the theme will be Winter, Snow, and Ice. The children will explore the wonders of winter, including weather changes and snow animals. As part of their geography unit, the classes will focus on the continent of Antarctica and its inhabitants. The book of the month will be The Mitten by Jan Brett which will teach the children about the adventures of winter animals during the cold season.

We hope you all have a fun and safe holiday winter break, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year!
