Christmas is Coming!

Christmas is getting closer everyday! At school we have been talking about Advent and that the real reason we have Christmas is because we are waiting for baby Jesus at school. We made advent wreaths and your children have enjoyed adding flames to their candles just like we light the big advent wreaths at school. Last week we had gingerbread week. We made a gingerbread house, baked gingerbread cookies and had a gingerbread hunt. It was so much fun to find and eat our gingerbread cookies. This week we are busy finishing up our special Christmas gifts that we have made for you, we are celebrating Boyd's birthday and we will also have a fun Christmas party with Mrs. Kobetz's class on Thursday. Thanks to everyone that has sent cookie decorations and special treats this week. Your children have loved them! Please enjoy some photos from recent activities at school. I will add more photos to a christmas smilebox that I will make after the week is over.

Thanksgiving & Grandparents day fun!

We had so much fun getting ready for Thanksgiving! We learned about the feast that the Pilgrims and the Native Americans shared together for Thanksgiving.  The Tee-Pee & Mayflower Center was so much fun to play in during center time.

We made delicious pumpkin muffins at school! The recipe was  so very easy, just mix a can of pumpkin with yellow cake mix and a dash of cinnamon.

We also enjoyed making the butter for our Thanksgiving family breakfast. 

Julian turned 4!

Ainsley is now 4 too!

Your children did a wonderful job singing in church for Grandparents day! I was very proud of them.
It was so nice to meet your parents and show them your child's school. 

Your children also made recipes and told grandparents "How to cook a Turkey!" The recipes were so cute so I wanted to share them on our blog for you to see.
