Butterfly Class News for December 15 - 19 View this email in your browser

The concert was amazing! Thank you for attending and bringing your kids so they could show you how hard they had been working on learning their songs. It was wonderful to see all of you. And a HUGE THANK YOU to Rob Melton (one of our Butterfly parents) for playing both nights. We really appreciate you!

This is our last week before break! Wow, time is flying by so fast. This week, we are going to be making Holiday Forests on Thursday and Friday (the 18th and 19th). We will be making them as the kids arrive, so if you would like to stay and create your child's forest with them, we would love it! Check out the sign-up sheet outside the classroom for supplies for the forests. We will also be having story and movie time with the other classrooms those days. Tree and candy cane projects are on the lesson plan for this week, as well reading some fun and silly holiday stories. We will be talking about our 2 weeks off, and what they are looking forward to this holiday season. We hope you all have a wonderful, safe, and restful break!
