Our story this week is Santa's Stuck.  When Santa becomes stuck in the chimney of a house on Christmas Eve, the dog, the cat, the reindeer, and a mouse try to free him. 

This book is a great story with rhyming, colourful pictures and a fun storyline.  Children will love to hear this story over and over again as the smallest member of the team comes up with the idea of how to get Santa out of the Chimney.

We will sing songs like the hokey pokey, abc, Jingle Bells and many more.  Our craft is a simple and fun craft that any age can do.  

Please come and have fun will all of our wonderful children.

Dewey's Christmas at the Library is our story this week. 

After finding a red ball of yarn, Dewey the cat, who lives in the Spencer, Iowa, public library, finds a way to help decorate the Christmas tree. 

Our book this week for Every Child Ready to Read is Print Awareness and Print Motivation.  Parts of the story are on different sections of the page to direct your child's eye on how we read from left to right and top to bottom.  The print motivation comes from seeing how much fun Dewey is having with all the wonderful colours and ornaments that he discovers in the Christmas decorations box. Wonderful stories like Dewey's Christmas at the Library motivates children to learn how to print. Children will laugh at how much fun Dewey is having.  

We are singing Christmas songs and familiar songs that we love to sing.  Please come and join us as we sing, laugh and create crafts for Christmas.

Our Story this week is "There Were Monkeys in my Kitchen" written by Sheree Fitch illustrations by Sydney Smith.

A young girl awakens one morning to total chaos when she discovers hordes of chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans have taken over her home. 

This book is an example of how a child's imagination can make a small thing seem large.  Our every child ready to read program helps to develop a child's love of books.  This week our book has phonological awareness, print awareness and narrative skills.   Rhyming, wonderful pictures and a story to be told and re-told, makes this a must read book.

We will be singing our fun songs, doing a small craft and of course listening as  poor Willa discovers a mess in her house that was caused by a kitchen full of monkeys.
