O Christmas Tree

The three year olds used watercolors to paint Christmas trees:

They turned out great! :)

The Stockings Were Hung...

Happy SinterKlaas Day (early!)

We talked about how they celebrate Christmas in Holland. On December 6th, they celebrate Sinterklaas Day. The children place their wooden shoes by the fireplace and fill them with carrots and hay for Sinterklaas' horse. In the morning, they hope their shoes will be filled with treats and gifts from Sinterklaas. We decided to try it out in our class!

And it worked! We put our shoes by the fireplace and went back to class to do our work. Before we went home we went to check our shoes and guess what? Sinterklaas left treats for us! He even left treats for the kids who were absent today! Lucky! The kids LOVED this! :)

Today was just one of those wonderful days at preschool- the kind that makes me love what I do! I am so lucky!
