This week we experienced the magic of the Christmas season by looking at the symbols of the season.  Ms. Lina gave a beautiful rendition of the love of the poinsettia plant and how it got its red leaves (from an in-pouring of love and friendship).  The children also got to see other symbols like St. Nicholas, the Christmas tree, stars and other reminders of this season being a time of sharing love, family and friendships. 

Spanish lessons continue to evolve and the children are exploring math and language using their second language.  Throughout the day, directions and guidance is given to the children in Spanish.  Often the children can be heard singing or counting in Spanish.

Thank you for the abundance of food donations made by our families to those in our community who are in need.  We will be delivering the food to Hope Link this week. 

A hearty thanks to Oscar and his family for providing delicious snacks and brightening our room with lovely flowers.
