Christmas to what we do with our families at Christmas time. Math
This week we were introduced to dimes and dollars
and cents notation. We also practiced exchanging dimes, nickels and
pennies. Social

We were introduced to other December holidays.

St. Nicholas the saint of children. St. Lucia Day, a Swedish holiday
celebrates the saint of light. Hannukah

Holiday
Party
Our classroom holiday party will take place
tomorrow, December 19 at 1:00 PM.
We will be decorating cookies, singing carols, and playing in
the snow, (weather permitting.) We
are still in need of plain baked sugar or gingerbread cookies, and hot
cocoa in thermal carafes. We
will also be having a book exchange.
Each child is asked to bring a wrapped book to exchange.
Gifts
to Parents
We have been busy making gifts for our parents the past couple of weeks. Your child will be bringing home a wrapped hand-made present on Friday, December 19. Have a happy and healthy holiday season! Mrs. Eichberger's Main Page |
