Our Rock Star this morning was Lukas. He shared that every Christmas season we bring out the Night Before Christmas and read it as a family on Christmas Eve.
Our Rock Star in the afternoon was Isa. He celebrates a holiday called Eid and it comes twice a year but never on the same date. There is Big Eid (Eid al Adha) and Little Eid (Eid al Fitr.) We decorate with lights and balloons and streamers. We dress up in our best clothes and go to the mosque to pray and then visit friends and family and eat lots of food. All the kids get money, treats, and gifts. Eid lasts 3 days. The picture shows Isa and his brothers dressed up in their Eid outfits opening their Eid gifts.
My goal in December was to work on writing our names with uppercase at the beginning and the rest lowercase. We had fun kinda talking about a momma bear protecting her babies. Today we spent the day really working on writing our names nicely with upper and lowercase letters. We will continue to work on this skill. We also had a lot of work on our letters that go in the basement and up into the attic. Ask your child where their letters go and see if they can write their name for you using a momma bear and her babies. :)
**Friendly reminder to fill in your child's Round 3 of our Rock Star presentations. This is focused on our family traditions. You can think of a tradition as a winter holiday, summer vacation or any type of celebration.**
