Our Week in Photos:

📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

We started off the week decking our halls!

Our Classroom Christmas Tree looks so festive now!

Then we moved onto decorating our chimney with what other than our Christmas STOCKINGS!?!?!?

We were so impressed with our little stitchers sewing skills!!

They are now on display on our classroom fireplace!

(Don't ask too many questions about what our Five Day Friends are working on!)

We were busy making Officer Feeney a Birthday Card!!

(His birthday was on Thursday 12/4 and Lieutenant Roccos's birthday is this Thursday12/11!)

Be sure to embarrass them with a "Happy Birthday" wish if you remember too! lol

Candy cane patterns were so much fun to read, build and paint!!

I is for Insect!

We started painting a special Christmas Craft that we will be working on next week...

🎄Merry Christmas🎄

I am so proud of all of our sweeet little PreK Performers!  Getting up on stage is never easy for anyone and getting up on stage for the very first time in front of such a large audience had to be extra challenging for our three and four year olds!  They all did so well!  I hope you all enjoyed our show and left STS with some Christmas cheer in your hearts. 

Enjoy every second of this joyous season!
