Hi Kindergarten Families,
This week, we learned about St. Nicholas! We decorated shoes and put them on our windows, to take part in the tradition of St. Nicholas leaving gifts for people in need. St. Nicholas was full surprises this week, as he left us a chocolate coin on our shoes and sent us our new elf, who we named Chippy, to watch over us and make sure we’re preparing for Jesus’ birth; by being kind and generous to one another!
