December Photos...
A Great Ending to 2012!
December was full of recapping our letters A-H, practicing our numbers 1-5, making presents and cards for our adopted grandparents and our parents. We were also super busy learning about and telling the story of Christmas. We had a beautiful program on the 19th that allowed Prek-4th grade to share the Good News about the birth of Christ. Prek did a GREAT job and I was super proud of them. They all looked quite adorable too!
We collected cans and non-perishables for St. Cyprian's food pantry and I was happy to say that PREK collected a ton of items. Thanks to their parents and honestly to their own diligence for remembering other people who need food. The pantry is low this time of year. If you are looking to donate, let me know and I will gladly continue taking donations to them.
We also collected money to purchase Christmas presents for families of St. Cyprian. Student Council organized the event and then went shopping. Prek was lucky enough to join student council in wrapping and preparing the gifts for delivery. It was a great intergenerational experience.
We had a special morning we called Popcorn, Polar Express and Pajama Party! We did all things train and Polar Express that day. We made a shape train, decorated popcorn bags and even got special "BELIEVE" train tickets. They really enjoyed the morning.
Our year ending with a wonderful party that was lead by Mrs. F! She organized treats and several parents came to help. The children made peppermint playdoh (recipe below) and a couple of foam crafts. They all brought goodies to share and at the very end of the day we had a whole school Christmas sing a long. Everyone was awesome.
While you are home, have fun, but also have fun learning. Don't feel the need to do worksheets. Have some time reading books, singing songs, playing with playdoh or have them draw a picture of their favorite part of vacation. These are all engaging and exciting ways to learn and build on basic school skills.
I thank you all for the kindness you have shared with me thus far. I look forward to 2013 with you and your children!
God Bless you and have a GREAT NEW YEAR!

PEPPERMINT PLAYDOH
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup salt
- peppermint extract
- red food coloring
- 2 Tbsp. cream of tartar (This ingredient helps keep the dough for about 3 months, so do not omit)
- In large bowl mix flour, salt, and cream of tartar until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl mix water and oil.
- After the dough has a good solid and soft texture, add a couple of drops of peppermint extract and mix that.
- Add red food coloring and knead it until it swirls like a candy cane.
- Store in an airtight container, i.e. plastic Ziploc bag.
