Learning Goal: Evergreen trees have pinecones and never lose their leaves.
- Reading= If You Take a Mouse to the Movies by Laura Numeroff, Why Christmas Trees Aren’t Perfect by Richard H. Schneider and Dream Snow by Eric Carle. Letter of the day= C is for Christmas.
- Science= Bring a tree branch, pine needles and pinecones to touch and smell. Show the circles on a sliced off tree trunk; count the rings to determine how old your Christmas tree is.
- Art= Paint a pinecone green and decorate it like a Christmas tree with glitter and sequins. Or, make a handprint Christmas tree from 6-10 upside down green handprints. Add a brown trunk and yellow star on top. Adhere popcorn with glue to decorate.
- Music= Listen to George Frideric Handel's Messiah. Sing other favorite Christmas songs.
- Play= Find things made of wood and play with them: furniture, toothpicks, paper, wooden spoons, toys, musical instruments, etc. Or, take a trip to the woods and cut down your own Christmas tree! (Don't forget to bring Dad.)
