And to all a good night….. Happy Holidays!

December 12, 2022 – December 16, 2022

 What a wonderful time of the year!

We were so thankful to have a real Christmas tree in the room this year! It was covered in lights that created such a warm and cozy glow! The children carefully constructed paper chains and beautiful handmade ornaments to add to the tree’s natural beauty! It became a gathering place for our students and presents alike, and made our party,  book exchange, and gift giving so special! In addition to making each and every ornament on our tree, the children also worked diligently to make a thoughtful handmade gift to surprise their families. It is sweet to see how much effort and care went into these gifts.

A big thank you goes out to our AWESOME room parents! The amazing holiday party was so much fun! The children worked in groups to decorate adorable gingerbread houses. They played  Elf Hunt and Holiday Bingo! Even the treats were hand decorated and so cute! The children helped surprise us with a giant class gift— a raised bed garden for outside the classroom window! So thoughtful!!

We are thankful to Mr. Cross, Jackson, and Joshua’s Father for a lovely Christmas Celebration Presentation! We ended the day by giving our students gift books( of course!) and hugs! Thanks all around for the thoughtfulness of our parents!

On Friday, our pajama-clad students arrived to enjoy a fun day of board games and relaxation and a surprise visit from a pirate (Ms.Kimberly, our awesome Drama Teacher! )…..any guess about the visit, yes that’s right… unveiling the audition details of our upcoming school play “Peter Pan”! We encourage children to explore their interests and try out the auditions!

The excitement continued, as students nibbled popcorn and drank hot chocolate during everyone’s favorite movie, The Polar Express! This year we reinstated an annual tradition known as the Book Exchange! Children participated in a fun game called The Right Family Christmas to gift each other with the books they brought this week! The day culminated with the entire Lower Elementary joining in for the Pizza Party and finishing off a very fun short day to begin our holiday!

We hope each of you has the very best holiday season. Remember to live in the moment! Please encourage your children to read during the break! It’s a skill that must be practiced! 

We appreciate your thoughtfulness this holiday season and look forward to seeing you all on January 3, 2023!!
