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.
