Time Change

Hey Everyone- Tomorrow, Thurs. Dec 11, I need to start preschool at 10:15 instead of 9:30. I am happy to still do it for he full 2 hours unless it interferes with your nap/lunch schedule, then we could end at 11:45 if it is easier. Please let me know when you prefer it to end. I need to change because we have our Christmas enrichment dinner and we are setting up in the morning until 10:00. Originally I told them that I couldn't help because of preschool but when I found out we had over 90 signed up I can't not help. Anyway, Maren suggested that I switch days and do it today, but I realized with the practice for the program and such it would just be to much for one day. Let me know what time you think. Thanks- Shel

Today @ Katie's house

We began by gluing together our sled ornaments. Then went over the calender and took turns raising hands to tell about the REAL meaning of Christmas. I was super proud that when I asked if Christmas was all about Santa they all said NO! That's right!
We sang Christmas songs. One of them was Once There Was a Snow man, pictured below.
Snack was those natural fruit snacks from Sprouts and popcorn. Some kids LOVED them, others weren't so down.
We played the Alphabet matching game. Where we match upper and lower case letters. Then we were suppose to say a word that starts with that letter's sound. I say SUPPOSE to because Kawika was SO tired at this point that he got up in everyone's face. I feel like I need a babysitter..J/K(well not totally, but I AM NOT asking for one)
The kids played outside for a little bit before it was time to get some reading in the Pirates book. It went by SO fast.

PS if you can fix the spacing on the pictures that'd be great. My computer is Wack. Also as of today the Calendar is correct. So disregard any past conversations.
