December 16

This is what we did today:
- Wrote and illustrated a Santa sticker story
- Added drawings of sea creatures to our Water books
- Reviewed all of the math concepts covered to date
- Watched A Charlie Brown Christmas
- Read The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore and Merry Christmas, Strega Nona by Tomie de Paola
- Had free activity time
- Enjoyed a special Christmas snack

We did not send the children’s reading books home today, but we did send home their paper bags filled with Christmas items, including two little activities to do over the break.  A letter with more details is in the bag.

Best wishes for a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year! Have a wonderful break and we’ll see the children back at school on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. (Bishop McGrath granted us an extra day off.)
