The First Christmas

Lily and Aj read the first Christmas book and had lots of questions so we spent some time talking about why we celebrate Christmas and what Christmas means to us. We also acted out the first Christmas with our stuffed dolls and made angels with construction paper and glitter.









Norman Rockwell

We spent some time this month learning about Norman Rockwell. We read some books,looked at photographs of his work. Lily and Aj did a watercolor painting using a Copy of his painting. They also did drawings of themselves using photographs we found.
( Aj did the orange painting. I wrote Lily on it by accident)
