Group Meeting:  The gingerbread man brought us cards and envelopes so that the children can make cards for their friends and family. 
At the Art Table, the children are making decorations for the classroom and for the Christmas program.  This week, they are mixing paint colors to make pretty baubles for the hallway.

Story:  The story for today was Santa's Secret Helper by Andrew Clements.  Santa has a secret help this year.  The secret helper dresses like Santa and does the same things that Santa does.  Will anyone be able to tell that the helper is not the real Santa?  Ask your child to tell you who the secret helper is.

Small Groups:  The children in the Red Group brought items for Show and Tell.

Large Group:  The children learned another new song for the Christmas program.

Snacks:  The snack in the morning was cheese, grapes and juice brought by Ram.  The snack in the afternoon was carrots and cottage cheese brought by Rory.  Thank you, Ram and Rory!
