December 11th - 14th, 2023: Holiday Traditions!

Hello Firefly Families!

We had a lot of fun this week talking about our holiday traditions and the holidays that we celebrate! We worked hard on our parent gifts, painted a circle stamp Christmas tree, responded to the journal prompt,"What's in your gift?", learned about Hanukkah & played the dreidel game, cut out special "gifts" out of catalogs to wrap and gift to our Firefly friends (this was a favorite!) and played a gingerbread roll and cover math game. Ellis's mom also came in and we did a Christmas ornament craft and talked about Christmas! We read the books Mr. Willowby's Christmas TreeHome for the Holidays, Clifford Celebrates Hanukkah, and If You Take a Mouse to the Movies. Our Handwriting Without Tears letter this week was R. This week we also talked about our new character ed trait--CARING, and what it means to care for our friends and our things.
