Greetings!
--
We just finished our Winter Solstice Celebration! Over the past week we've been reading about Winter Solstice celebrations all around the world and took a close look at the themes of light and welcoming back longer days! We discussed Hanukkah, Las Posadas, Soyal, and Teng Chieh and the holidays that we celebrate in our own homes. We had fun doing winter projects like making borax snowflakes, gift wrapping, and making gifts for each other (We're sad that we missed a lovely photo op with all of the children with their candles lit after receiving their gifts). Our community felt truly lovely and bright on this cold winter's day... that is until we had to pack up all our snow gear and send the children home pack-mule-style...
We truly hope that all of you have a wonderful, relaxing, and rejuvenating holiday with your families and we will see you in 2018!
Warm regards,
Emily Bowar & Jessy Eaton Fabel
