Holidays

The holidays are a time for family to come together to celebrate tradition and to learn the reason for the season. While Christmas and Hanukkah tend to be to be the dominant winter holidays in American culture, December is a month with several other holidays, too. Teaching your children about how different cultures and religions celebrate these holidays can do wonders for their ability to respect other cultures and expand their worldview.

Children need to understand that in our heart of hearts, we are all the same, we are one. We're simply born with different looks into families with different beliefs, and different traditions.

The best way for kids to understand and learn anything is for them to participate using a hands-on approach.  So we will play games, make crafts, read about holidays and enjoy different holiday food

Thanks to all who attended the fall conferences.  I hope you enjoyed learning about what your child does each day and how he/she is progressing.
