Our festive week!

We have been slow in our Christmas craft production this week, but we have colored Elmo wreaths, free drew what we would like Santa to bring us for Christmas, and made Santa masks (thanks Kelly for the idea)! Oh yea...we also made granola!!

 They are very serious about their art work!

"Ho, ho, ho"

the Holiday Season

We are getting into the Holiday Spirit around here! The children really enjoyed learning about Hanukkah last week. They say "menorah" and "dreidel" so cute! This week and next we will be talking about Christmas followed by Kwanzaa and the New Year. It is really an exciting time to spend with children (especially now that the 2-year-olds are really starting to grasp what the holiday means)!

For our Christmas theme, we will be making ornaments and other crafts as well as baking treats and decorating the center. I will post pictures as our activities occur!! Happy Holidays everyone!
