Christmas Story Time: December 22-23, 2014

Books:
Dinosaur vs. Santa by bob Shea
Have You Been Naughty or Nice? by Ethan Long *
Minerva Louise on Christmas Eve by Janet Morgan Stoeke *
Snowmen at Christmas by Caralyn Buehner *
Star Bright: A Christmas Story by Alison McGhee
The Twelve Days of Christmas by Jane Cabrera

Craft: Standing Christmas Tree
Our craft was based on the picture at left.  Children colored a cardstock triangle before gluing on a star topper and sequins ornaments.  A clothespin was clipped at the bottom as the stand.

Literacy Extensions:
- Talk about your family's holiday traditions.  Explain the history and the meaning behind them to your children.
- See if your child can come up with his own version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" like Jane Cabrera did in her book.
