It is hard to believe that the winter holidays are already here. Wow, what a busy month we have planned.  We will read the wonderful story of the Gingerbread Man and make our own sensational gingerbread men. Then we will bake gingerbread cookies. We will start the month making holiday gifts and talking about Hanukkah. We will make a menorah by painting our hands. We are going to get messy making potato latkes. They are delicious! We will also talk about Christmas as we make Christmas trees and sing about Rudolph. It would not be the holiday season without making Christmas cookies.

This month will be filled with wonderful holiday books, music and crafts! Winter is fast approaching and so is the cold weather. Please send in hats and mittens with your son or daughter since we will still be going to the playground to play.

December will be a fun and festive month for Mrs. Pullias’ class. Our themes will center on families and the wonderful celebrations of the December holidays. It is truly the season of giving, sharing, and spending time with family and friends. We will discuss the ways each family is special and learn how our families celebrate the holidays with their own traditions and festivities. We will also learn about animal families and habitats and read and compare two different versions of The Three Bears! Our Amazing Alphabet Adventure will continue with the letters “F” and “G” and we will be busy as little elves making beautiful gifts and decorations for home. Our best wishes to all of you for a wonderful holiday and a very happy New Year!
