The Christmas Box House Service Project!
This Friday will be the last day to donate the listed items to The Christmas Box House! You may bring any of the following items to class and drop them in the blue bin: toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, soap for sensitive skin, new socks, new underwear, new jeans, new t-shirts, new sweatshirts (any size for the listed items). These items are given to the children they provide housing for until they find permanent residency.

I am Thankful!

The, I am Thankful class is a great way to teach children about the Thanksgiving Holiday! Integrating the arts adds fun and imagination to this loved tradition, by many. The USA and Canada are not the only countries who celebrate a holiday like this. The U.K., China, Korea, and India celebrate some kind of harvest festival, too. They just call it by different names.

In class, we will explore what Thanksgiving is, the symbols of Thanksgiving, creatively move our bodies to explore aspects of Thanksgiving, ride our horses to Grandma’s house to the famous tune of Over the River and Through the Woods (originally, a song about Thanksgiving), enjoy a Thanksgiving Feast with our friends with pretend food and table settings, use our hands as stamps in creating our own visual art turkeys, and come together to listen to a Thanksgiving story.

I will see you in class, Friday! Gobble, gobble, gobble!!!
