Our Friday “Purple Day” Class welcomed December with a new Color of the Month…red. This means we had red things at the Project Table, Tiny Things Table, red ornaments for our little Christmas trees, red Play-Doh, red magnet wands and jingle bells in the Tub Table and lots of new books. We also sang Christmas songs, did jumping dot paint, made candy cane J ornaments and went on a wintery walk to hunt for snow. We read about a missing mitten and all the things the girl imagined might have happened to it…like it growing into a Mitten Tree! So silly. We had three Golden Letter friends to celebrate too: Jackson, Jacob and Julian

At Snack Time the tables moved and the snow cloud was in the middle for all of us to look at. We were also busy making candy cane J ornaments…check pockets and backpacks!
