Group Meeting:  We had a great time looking at everyone's hats, bows, and head bands today.
Instead of an opening dance video, we did a Christmas yoga video.  The children seemed to enjoy doing the stretches and poses.  We'll have to do that more often.
The gingerbread man challenged us to build houses for him in the block area.  At play time, several children used blocks to create "mansions" for the gingerbread man.

Story:  The story for today was There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell by Lucille Colandro.  This is another in the series of "There Was an Old Lady" books.  This one is about Christmas things that the lady swallows.  Ask your child to tell you what happens when she hears Santa say ho, ho, ho.

We used our Small and Large Group time to practice our program in the Great Hall with the piano accompaniment.   We're getting excited!

Snacks:  The morning class had peanut butter and apples brought by Hudson.  The afternoon class had cheese sticks and applesauce brought by Isla.  Thank you, Hudson and Isla!

Tomorrow is red and green day.  Wear either or both colors.
