What a Snowy Monday!
We had lots of excited boys and girls at school today. I think there are going to be quite a few snowmen in your future.
I think the weather knew of my lesson plans today, as it was quite fitting. Each year our school puts together a tree for the Festival of Trees. The theme this year is Christmas Around the World. The story that we are basing our tree off of is "The Spider's Gift: A Ukrainian Christmas Story" By Eric Kimmel. Katrusya and her brothers are very upset that her family can't afford Christmas this year, due to poor crops and needing to save their money for food. Katrusya and her Grandfather go into the forest and pick the most perfect tree, to decorate for Christmas. The family strung buttons and placed it around the tree like garland. 'They were so proud of their beautiful tree. During the night, Katrusya's mom let out a loud scream! Their beautiful Christmas tree was covered with spiders!!! There were hundreds of baby spiders spinning their webs all over the tree, in hopes of finding food. Ask your child what the family decided to do with the Christmas tree.
Teddy was our snack leader today. He brought goldfish and bananas. Thank you, Teddy!
As the weather is changing, I know that some of our students will be wearing snow boots to school. Please send a pair of shoes with your child to change into. We continue to run around and play inside, and it is awfully hard to run in snow boots.
I hope you all get to enjoy the snow!! Wednesday is our cooking day, and birthday celebration. Please wear BROWN to school!!
See you on Wednesday!!
