Weeks of December 5 - 16
Hi Moms and Dads,
Tis the season....
The next two weeks will be full of Christmas fun as we focus on the birth of our Savior! What a joy it is every day to watch as your children prepare to present their "heart gift" for Jesus. The excitement is in the air and they are truly a precious example of how "Christmas isn't Christmas until it happens in your heart".
JESUS IS THE STAR!!!!
We will be centering our reading and math activities around "things that remind us of Christmas" and the incredible Christmas literature that we all love.
