Hello, Everyone!  I meant to get these pictures posted sooner...you know how it is.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful time with their families.  I sure am!  Thank you so much for the very generous Target gift card.  I will be using it to buy some new items for our classroom.  Thanks also for the fun and lively Christmas party.  I hope that our sick little ones are feeling better and I am so sorry that some of you could not attend.  I bet that another week of rest will help us all to have a great start in 2013!

Hello, Parents!  We have been having a blast this week learning about transportation.  We read a great book about airplane trips and then pretended our class was flying to Florida.  We packed pretend suitcases and carry-ons then waited for our turn to board at the airport.  Each student had to present their ticket and find their seat, and then relaxed as the "cabin crew" passed out snacks.  This week we also painted and decorated race cars made from recycled items and then raced them in our room.  Our Advent wreaths turned out great and were a fun way to work on fine motor skills.  We have also had some great discussions about Advent and what it means to have to wait for something.

Next week we will move onto Castles and Fairy Tales and will continue to learn about the Advent season and the Christmas story.  Our last week before break will be all about Christmas.
