Holiday Show!

Yesterday Kindergarten put on their annual Holiday Show! They worked hard to present a play, many songs, and even dances! They also recited Twas the Night Before Christmas and also did it in sign language! They did a wonderful job and I am so proud of them!




Holiday Celebrations

During the month of December, the children learned all about different holidays celebrated all over the world! Some of the holidays we studies include: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Diwali, the Feast of St. Lucia, Las Pasadas, and the Chinese New Year! We compared and contrasted the different holiday traditions to the holiday traditions we have at home.

Thanksgiving Fun

The children learned all about Native Americans, Pilgrims, and even about colonial times! They compared the way people used to live, eat, and what they did for fun to the way we live now. They even learned Native American symbols! Then they had a Thanksgiving feast and each brought in a dish!
