Wee Friends are very excited about our Christmas Caroling tomorrow! Here’s what we have planned for tomorrow (Wednesday) and Monday afternoon, our second caroling tour .

Wednesday 12/5: 10:30-11 We will be caroling around the block. If you would like to join your Wee Friend, please meet us in front of Wee Friends no later than 10:30. Here’s our route in case you can’t be there at 10:30: we will travel south on 29th street to Wall St. and turn left. From there we’ll walk around the block. When we’ve returned to Wee Friends, we invite you to say goodbye to your caroler and we head inside and jump in to creating your Christmas surprise!

Monday 12/ 10: We will be caroling the same route starting at 3:45-4:15. Please join us in singing and afterwards, we invite you to come inside Wee Friends for cookies and cocoa!

Don’t hesitate to ask any teacher for more details re: our caroling plans!

Our card exploration yesterday introduced many images of angels. We continued the conversation today by starting with the question: “What is an angel?” Here’s what we learned:

Arleigh: “A person with wings. Angels fly.”

Elizabeth: “They have wands.”

Lea: “They are princesses.”

Marina: “Angels are cold.”

Jada: “They are freezing.”

We studied Great Master paintings of angels from The National Gallery. Then we went on an angel hunt, seeking out pictures of angels that had been hidden throughout the classroom.

At the art table, Lisa created a huge angel mural and friends filled it in with bright colored tape!

Elliott and Max decided they would work three puzzles. As the angels floated about them, they achieved their goal!

Meanwhile, the girls found the angel costumes and created an angel improvisation with sparkly music that took them swimming through and floating high above the clouds! We caught raindrops underneath rain clouds, licked angel icing off angel cake, danced softly on fluffy clouds,  and slept soundly with the cool clouds all around.

With angels among us, we set out to top our tree with an angel. Lisa led a group of friends in this creation.

The Keepers of the Grinch created a car and enjoyed a long car ride.

Wee Sprouts: Celery sticks. Breakfast: Kix and fresh fruit. Lunch: Homemade beef stew, bananas and whole wheat buttered bread. Snack: Cheddar cheese slices and Goldfish.

Have a great day!
