December is a busy month for everyone, including our kids. We spend a lot of time learning about the winter season, and the holidays it brings. We read books about the leaves changing colors, the cold weather, winter traditions and characters, Hanukkah, and Christmas. We make winter themed arts and crafts, and Christmas gifts for our parents. We play winter and holiday themed games. We also have to deal with the mess and crazy antics of Tiny Tommy, our elf of the shelf. Needless to say, we all LOVE December!
