What would Christmas be without all of the traditions we get to enjoy each season? From Christmas carols that celebrate the birth of Christ to sparkling Christmas lights, each tradition brings its own special meaning. The children in Room 3 have loved creating memories with our traditional holiday projects like ornament making, Christmas chains, and painting/glitter bombing construction paper lightbulbs but one of our favorite Christmas art projects, by far, was  creating our very own Christmas trees.  

In Room 5 we like to make everything friendly and accessible for the young twos- it is their room after all! So, we made a toddler-sized felt tree which they happily decorate without fear of breaking things, knocking it down, or having it topple over them. What a joy! Not only did they create the felt decorations for the tree themselves with stickers, glitter glue, and paint- they get to take them off and re-decorate to their little hearts’ content. We love the wonder in their eyes as they take on the opportunity to trim the tree again and again.

The Children in Room 2 enjoyed decorating the classroom tree on Monday, Dec 7th and Tuesday, Dec 8th. They hung Christmas ornaments from home and then sang Christmas Carols .

They then had a special snack of Hot Chocolate and Gingerbread cookies.

All our littles have been enjoying the holiday season with a variety of joyous activities. Here are a few….🎄😉 

With Christmas festivities in full swing, it just wouldn’t feel like the holidays without baking! Room 1 friends measure, pour, mix, and roll their way to a yummy treat!

As Ms. Joy guides the children through a Snickerdoodle recipe, the group discusses units of measurement, consistency of the ingredients, and spices used.

Hands-on cooking activities are a fun way for children to make connections in content areas like math, science, and literacy!
