This morning in Spanish, Alicia read us La Noche Buena. The story takes place in Little Havana in Miami. La Noche Buena is a Christmas story that shares a family's holiday traditions. It was beautiful and interesting story that helped to bring up fun family holiday memories and traditions.
Alicia introduced us to her friend, Pancho, who loves to sing Feliz Navidad.
Later this morning, Rachel, Devin's mom, came in to share their family holiday tradition. Rachel shared that during holiday time her and Devin bake cookies together and then decorate them.
The Sparrows each got three cookies and chose icing and sprinkles to decorate with.
Rachel read us The Gruffalo's Child to end our time together.
This afternoon, Zoë's mom and dad, Shelly and Eric, came in to do a craft with us. We made snow people! Using shaving cream, glue, glitter, and peppermint extract, we created a puffy shaving cream mixture.
Once friends' puffy paintings were complete, friends received different types of accessories to decorate their snowmen and women (and dogs!).
At the end of Shelly and Eric's visit, they gave out homemade vanilla ice cream! Friends gave it a thumbs up. Some gave it moose ears!!
Thank you families for coming in and sharing your family holiday traditions with us!
