As 2018 comes to an end and we think back to the beginning of the school year, we can’t help but feel proud of each one of your children. There has been incredible growth. We are so excited to see what the rest of the school year will hold.

December has been consumed with Europe studies. The children have loved learning about the different countries in Europe, completing the Europe puzzle map, and learning about all the different animals that can be found on the continent.

December has also been filled with learning about different Holiday Celebrations from around the world. In the cultural area of the classroom, you can find children learning about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Las Posadas, St. Lucia Day, and Christmas.

We know December is a time of giving and sharing with those in need. This year we are showing our love, support, and generosity to one of our own, Cash Martin and his family. Cash was a part of our classroom until he fell ill and had to leave for the reminder of the school year. We have begun raising money for their family and so far the outpouring of love and support has been an incredibly humbling experience. We have had students donate their own money to the cause and that has been an incredible thing to witness.  We can’t thank you enough for all you have given and continue to give for this family. Our fundraiser will continue into next week, 12/17-12/20.
