Greetings Honeybee Families,
Thank you for joining us on Friday for our lovely winter spiral. It was precious to see each of the children walk so reverently with their lighted candle.
In the spirit of sharing our light and warmth with the world, the children made letters for seniors living in nursing homes to wish them warm holiday greetings. We placed a special note inside one of their watercolor paintings, and the children drew pictures and decorated the inside. These charming handmade cards will be delivered to and distributed by Cherokee Recreation & Parks.
This time of year, the students are finding more nature treasures on the forest ground. This has inspired us to create our own treasure pouches to carry their special finds. The children are developing their fine motor skills and sewing together their own pouches. The students chose their felt and used the blanket stitch technique to sew. We are sewing on a button, and they can choose between making a finger chain or a finger knot for the handle.
It’s hard to believe that our fall semester is almost finished! We are planning to share hot cocoa with our shared snack next Wednesday (The ingredients of the cocoa are coconut milk, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and vanilla). If you would prefer your child not participate in the cocoa or bring their own, please reach out.
Announcements and Reminders:
Please continue to send water-resistant heavy coats, hats, gloves, snow pants or rain pants, and insulated boots daily. Please also continue to dress your child in layers. Wool socks are highly recommended on days under 45 degrees.
