Group Meeting: We are beginning to bring out a few Christmas things. This season goes by so fast that we wanted to get them out now so that the children have time to enjoy them.
Story: The story for today was I Can't Wait Until Christmas by Linda Maifair. This book is about Big Bird and his friends. Big Bird and Granny have just celebrated Thanksgiving. Now, he wants to know how long it will be until Christmas. Granny tells him it is four weeks away. Big Bird thinks that is a long time to wait. Granny gives him ideas of things to do until Christmas comes. Big Bird bakes cookies, decorates a tree and makes a present for Granny. Ask your child to tell you what he makes.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was R.
Small Groups: The children met Scout our Therapy Dog. The practiced asking if they could pet him. They let Scout sniff them and then they gave her gentle pets.
Large Group: The children picked parts for our Christmas program. We did this by putting pictures of the "characters" in a bag. The children closed their eyes and reached in the bag to pick a part. Some of the children might not be able to remember what they picked. Once we start practicing, they will be able to tell you.
Snack: The snack for today was apples, Nutella, milk, and water.
