I hope your child was not too jet lagged this afternoon from our quick trip to Holland today. We began our Christmas Around The World unit and visited Holland on our first stop. We learned that Sinterklaus visits the children of Holland in a boat loaded with packages. The children collaged a picture of that scene today. We also learned that children in Holland leave their shoes out, instead of stockings, for Sinterklaus to leave treats in. Since we were in Holland we left our shoes in the hall during rest time and when we woke up there were treats in them. It was very exciting!
We also began working on our Christmas Shape Books. Today we added a diamond ornament to our book.
Kathy the Elf has been visiting us every night and leaving us messages. Last night she added eyes to our Mr. Potato Head. We get to add a piece when we are following directions and are "caught" being good. We are trying to make him complete so we can have a PJ/ movie party the last day of school before Christmas break. I'm sure your child will keep you updated on our progress!
Our next "trip" will be to Germany on Thursday. Fun, fun!!
