 'Tis the season to be busy!  We work, we play, and we sing all day!

Elf on the Shelf
Look who has come to visit us from the North Pole, Blaze and Elsa!  They have been keep an eye on us as we are working in our classroom.  Santa would be so proud.



Building
 Building blocks can help boost creativity, block play encourages children to match, count and sort. Also, blocks usually come in various sizes that can be stacked in many different arrangements. When a child puts two smaller blocks together he gets one bigger block to use – it is a fantastic way how to introduce the meaning of big and small, as well as half and whole. Matching, counting, sorting – these are just a few concepts taught in nursery, preschool and kindergarten, which you can continue teaching your child while playing!

Art
Oh Christmas Tree ........  


Tree Decorating 
It takes fine motor skills to put these ornaments on our classroom Christmas tree.  

Music
December is a month filled with beautiful music.  We love listening to Christmas music while we work and we love making our own music.



Santa's Helpers
If Santa needs any extra help, we are ready.  This week we learn how to sand wood and next week we are going to learn how to hammer!




First Grade Visit
We had special visitors this week. Our HCA first grades came down to share gingerbread cookies with our class. They watched to see what part of the gingerbread man the children would eat first, head or toes, and then made graphs in math class from the results.  Heads won!
