December will be a month of academic review and reinforcement of the skills we have been practicing since the beginning of the school year. We will also enjoy crafts and holiday celebrations/traditions from around the world.
A Kiss For Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik will be the book for our book report this month. We will focus on discussing the plot. Also, for fun, the children will be creating paper puppets to retell the story at home.

The Kindergarteners certainly enjoyed the “Magic Milk” experiment. We discussed atoms, molecules, how atoms bind, move, attract and repel. To repeat the experiment you will need milk, food coloring, dish soap and q-tips. Pour milk into a shallow dish. Add food coloring drops. Dip a q-tip into the dish soap and touch the drops of color. Ask your child to explain the reaction. Fun!
Wishing you all a splendid holiday month!
