This week we talked about bringing in the New Year in order to get us ready for 2012! The children learned about traditions associated with New Years and even pretended to have their own celebration in their classroom. They made confetti, party hats, and practiced countdowns!

| I think he's ready for the New Year! |
Our cooking project this week was based on a belief that some people follow. Food items that are round supposedly give you good luck for the next year as it symbolizes the end of one year and the beginning of the next. Therefore, the children made baked doughnuts and they were outstanding!
 |
| They cut out the centers with a circle cookie cutter. |
 |
| Once they were done baking, the children enjoyed every bite! |
The children talked about the differences in things that are old and those that are new. They also discussed making New Year's Resolutions!
We hope you have a WONDERFUL 2012 and that it is more than you could have ever wished for!
