All month long we prepared for jolly ol' St. Nicholas' visit!
One of the kid's favorite stories was about the history of St. Nicholas and the evolution of the stocking. On December 8th we celebrated St. Nicholas' Feast Day (since we weren't at school on the 6th) by setting our shoes outside while we napped. We hoped that St. Nicholas would visit us and bring us gifts for being good boys and girls and he did! He filled our shoes with candy!
The sun was awfully bright that day, so please excuse all of the squinted/closed eyes!

What is Christmas without a pretty tree? We made our own scrapbook paper Christmas trees and used our knowledge of measurement to assemble the pieces longest to shortest to make our trees.
Don't forget the star on top!
The trees looked great paired with our Santa drawings!
Another way that we practiced our handwriting skills this month was writing letters to Santa. I was very impressed with everyone's hard work, especially copying letters that we haven't learned yet!
On Polar Express Day PreK had a special visitor! How exciting that Santa Claus himself made time to come and visit our classroom!
Poor Ian hadn't quite woken up enough to fully enjoy taking a picture with Santa, but he was happy Santa came to see us!
