Kandinsky's Concentric Christmas Trees

It has been several years since we have done this Christmas craft.  Inspired by Kandinsky's Concentric Circles, our MWF preK classes created some concentric Christmas trees on Friday.

Tis the season to have some fun with your child!

Logs to Lumber

Our MWF preK students have learned a lot about trees.  We have learned about deciduous and coniferous trees.  We know trees provide shade, food, clean the air and much more.  We also learned the parts of a tree.

Ask your child to tell you what they learned about trees!

Our Favorite Thanksgiving Food

The month of November we talked about Thanksgiving foods with our preK classes.  On the Monday before Thanksgiving, we had deli turkey, a roll, cranberries and some stuffing. 

When we returned from the holiday, we asked about their favorite Thanksgiving food---

Afternoon Class

Look at your child's class and talk about the numbers.  Are there numbers that are equal?  Do you see a zero?

Jingle All the Way

Our classroom will fill you and your child with the Christmas spirit (although your child probably doesn't need any help😎 ) Over the next few weeks, we will have many activities to keep our kiddos busy. Here's a peek---

You'd think that would be enough but there's more---

Create some Christmas fun for your child this season!

My Happy Place

These were the two people who taught me how to love, laugh and learn.  My childhood home was a happy place and I was a lucky girl.

Since I knew what love was, I found a man to love and we married. We created our own happy place with our two boys.  More love, much laughter and lots of learning (children and parents learning...little did I know my kids would teach me a lot). A little luck and lots of work to create a happy place for our family.

After my home, this door...

leads to my second happy place.  I am so thankful that I have a career where I wake up and head out to a place filled with love, laughter and learning.  I am really good at a what I do. I acknowledge and give thanks for it is a gift.  It is not mine to own but mine to give.

When I close this door, I am able to love and be loved.  I laugh and see laughter.  I am responsible for learning but  I also learn something new everyday.  I am able to forget for a few hours whatever ails me and be happy in this happy place.

Find your happy place.

Happy Thanksgiving!
