Noel, Nutcrakers, and the North Star



I'm trying to fit the Christmas theme into our letters as much as I can. This week we focused greatly on Numbers. We memorized the 10 commandments for our Bible story, and we counted to 20 every day. We did some fun projects this week like making a fruit loop necklace, coloring a picture of the nativity scene, making star diagrams (including the north star), and delivering cookies to our neighbors. We sang The First Noel, and Silent Night most days as well as Make new friends, and good news other days. I was actually surprised how few words start with letter N. Our verse this week was Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters."
Most days I combined themes to have enough books some of our favorites this week were : "Good night gorilla," "Silent night," "night tree," "Cicly G and the 9 monkeys," "the perfect nest, and "Little Quack's new friend." Caleb would really like to use or see a nutcracker in person. Titus enjoyed eating the fruit loops so he didn't get any on his string. I've already been working on letter O week - it will be the last before our Christmas break.

N sounds like a fun letter! Cecily G is one of our faves to read. How does that fit in with N though?
