KinderLiteracy: Reindeer

     KinderMath: About Number 11: Hide 10

We will look closely at how to build 11 the '10' way. Again, our goal is to help the kids see teen numbers as "10 and some more."

Social Studies: Holidays Around the World
Today we travel to Germany and learn about St. Nicholas Day which was December 6. The tradition is for children to leave their shoes out for sweets & treats to be found the morning of December 6. Our littles will experience a little of that excitement today when they return from Phy Ed to put their regular shoes back on.

Project: Nutcracker
