Merry Christmas!

 

Last week at The Academy of Gateway we geared up for Christmas! On Monday we made Gingerbread Playdough, we mixed together flour, oil, warm water, and cinnamon to make this amazing-smelling playdough. On Tuesday we read the book "Christmas Cheer for The Grouch Ladybug", on Wednesday we had a Reindeer food Grab n Go, and on Thursday we wore our Christmas Pajamas! We had such a blast gearing up for Christmas. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with joy and laughter!

Cookies with Santa

Last week at The Academy of Gateway we had a very special guest! Santa Claus made a trip from the North Pole to come visit and eat cookies with us. We took many pictures, decorated cookies, made some holiday crafts, and best of all told Santa what we wanted for Christmas. We had so much fun at Cookies with Santa!

 

Holiday Activities

 

Last week at the Academy of Gateway we kicked off the first week of December with some fun holiday activities. We had a yummy elf munch grab-n-go, we also wore our favorite Christmas Hat/ Head Band Dress-up Day, and we decorated one of our school Christmas trees. We ended the week with donating toys, clothes, shoes, and other things to the Salvation Army Angel Tree. We were so happy to be able to help other families that are in need!

Painting With Nature

 

We hope you all had a fun and safe Thanksgiving with all of your friends and family. Last week at the Academy of Gateway we started the week out with National French Toast Day by having French toast for breakfast. On Tuesday we read the Leaf Thief, on Wednesday we did a fall scavenger hunt, and on Thursday we painted with nature. We had a blast using pinecones and leaves to paint our masterpieces!
