We Wish You A Merry Christmas!
 Once
again it's time for Santa, Rudolph, candy canes, gift-getting, great kitchen smells, and
renewed family traditions. But for many of us, remembering the first Christmas is
most important. Traditional or religious, the Christmas Season is here at last -
let's be happy for our blessings and very generous to those who
have less.

The
Polar Express
The children are invited to
bring in bathrobes and slippers. We make a train with our chairs. Everyone is
very quiet and Mrs. M. reads this wonderful book. We all hear the first Christmas
bell. It's magical! Of course, there's
Snowman Soup to share when we exit the
train. Here's a simple response
activity:
 A
Winter Train Ride
In first grade we've made 60 ornaments on
the
60th day of school
and birdfeeders from cereal pieces
on the 70th Day!
