We have enjoyed celebrating the fall. We especially liked talking about Thanksiving. The children liked singing about a Turkey and enjoyed the book 'Thanksgiving Is Here.' Sponge painting big leaf cutouts was a fun project for everyone.
Christmas is the next big thing we will celebrate. On Dec. 5th it is 'Spirit of Christmas Day.' The children can come dressed in festive wear. We will also do some decorations to hang in the room.
The children have been practicing hard for the Christmas program and are looking forward to the evening when they can perform for their parents. This will be on Dec. 7th. @ 19:00. The Christmas story has had a part in getting ready for the program. The children like listening to the story and help telling it. We love singing 'Away in the Manger. '
Here is a finger play we like to do.
Five Little Bells
Five little bells hanging in a row
The first one said 'ring me slow.'
The second one said 'ring me fast.'
The third one said 'ring me last'
the fourth one said 'I'm like a chime.'
The fifth one said 'ring me at christmastime.'
Happy Holidays
