Merry Christmas to all of our friends and families! We don't take much of a physical break for the holidays, but we do take a break from the classroom to enjoy some holiday cheer. Last week we had our Christmas program, book exchange, and Stephanie Gerlach came by to explain to the children how they celebrate Christmas in Germany. Then she shared some delicious German cookies and Christmas punch with us! This week we started out kind of Grinchy on Monday, but enjoyed a Christmas dinner with the children on Tuesday and ended it all with a relaxing Polar Express Day on Wednesday. We will be closed the next two days for Christmas, but can't wait to get back and hear all of the children's Christmas stories!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and families! The last several weeks we have been talking all about being thankful and grateful for the many amazing blessings in our lives. This week we shared the "story" of the first Thanksgiving with the children and sat down to give thanks with our favorite pilgrims and Native Americans. What a yummy reminder to give thanks for everything, even the food on the table!

Happy Halloween to all of our families and friends! This week was so much fun. We had our Halloween party on Thursday, a pajama day on Friday, and enjoyed a TON of fun Halloween stories (if you haven't read it before, the preschool class seemed to favor "Winnie the Witch"). There is no better place to be than around kids during Halloween. Their enthusiasm and excitement is contagious!
