A Christmas Suprise!!

Students learned about Christmas in Holland and how children put their wooden shoes outside filled with hay and carrots for Sinterklauss' horse.  We did the same thing and the Zwarte Piets came and filled our bags with goodies!  Thanks to all the parents who sent items and candy to fill these bags.  It was magical!! :)

Today, we received a package from the North Pole!  Santa sent us a special elf for our classroom.  His name is Woodlawn Willie.  The children were so excited to get a package from the North Pole!!!!




Decorating the tree with our hand-made ornaments!

 



Thanks to Naeem's mom for sending the ingredients.  The kids loved their mini pizzas!!



We studied Christmas in Sweeden and learned that Santa Lucia brings gifts to the children who live there.  We made sweet rolls and hot coco just like they do in Sweeden.  Thanks to Charleigh's mom and Caliyah's mom for sending the ingredients!!!

Making our Christmas Wish Lists

The children used toy magazines to search for things they wanted to put on their Christmas Wish Lists.  The excitement in the room was so fun!!  One of the children said, "This is the best day ever!!!!"  They are so much fun to work with!

Thanks to all the parents who sent items to stuff our "Christmas bags" with, you made some little children super happy!  During our study of Christmas in Holland, students put their "wooden shoes" outside of the classroom door and filled them with hay and carrots.  Sinterkaluss came on his white horse and the zwarte piets left a suprise filled bag.  The excitement in the hall was so much fun!!!
