~*~Best Wishes~*~

What a great year this has been! Thank you all for your support and help and for allowing me to be a part of your families. The children have been wonderful and I can't wait till the New Year to continue our wonderful adventures. We have ended the year with great memories. The children may be talking to you about Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas throughout these weeks ;) We have had so much fun learning new ways of saying Santa Claus and the many different traditions families around the world have for this time of year (some we will take and practice in our class, one of them being, “The Talking Stone”).

I want to wish you all Happy Holidays and best of luck in the New Year. See you all in two weeks! Photos will be posted shortly.

Much Love,
Miss Mariana
