Take Time to Make Holiday Memories

Hello Head Start Families!

Tis the Season! We are soooooo busy here at Head Start! We have many fun activities and learning experiences planned this month for our children and families. Please make sure you stay in touch through ClassTag and Ready Rosie as these are great venues for communication and engagement.

The last day of school before winter break is Friday, December 16, 2022.

It is my hope that you are preparing to have some much needed “you” time and time with your family over this holiday season. Take care of yourselves as you gather together, understanding COVID and other flu bugs are still going around.

Here are some great activities to do over the holidays with your child, and as a family:

Bake Cookies – allow your child to use different sized measuring utensils and cups.

Ginger Bread Houses – use graham crackers, frosting and edible decorations. Encourage your child to describe their house. Help them to use descriptive words and introduce new language.

Read a Favorite Book - let your child use the illustrations in the book to tell the story as well. Point out interesting and creative words.

Craft Time - reach out to your child's teacher as there are so many neat craft ideas for children.

Outdoors – it is healthy for children to get outside in all types of weather!

It is our hope that you have a warm, wonderful Holiday Season and, as always, we thank you for choosing Head Start!
