It's Almost Christmas!

With our Christmas countdown about to begin, we are already busy creating and celebrating. We had a great day working on our vowel sounds and going to music class.

 We will be finishing up peppermint week tomorrow, so I wanted to share with you one of our favorite videos we have watched learning about how real candy canes are made. 

Yesterday we were thinking of how fun it would be to live in a candy house! Enjoy the fabulous ideas the kids came up with :)
