With Christmas marketing now starting the day after Halloween, it's not surprising that after two months of television commercials, store displays, and mail catalogs kids begin to focus on the "getting" part of the holiday season and often miss the "giving" part completely.
Over the next week, we will be talking a lot about gift giving. Some gifts can be cards or art projects that we can make for others but gifts can also be kind actions or words that we share with others.
We will go through our classroom toys & books and chose some to give away to other kids. We will also tell our friends and family members the things we enjoy about them by writing out thoughts and well wishes on cards and letters.
Today we made stockings and each preschooler decided who would be the recipient of their masterpiece. Stockings were made for moms and dads, grandparents, siblings, and friends.
