December's Curriculum

Hey everyone! It seems that our December person was unable to make the curriculum right now so I wanted to check in and see what everyone wanted to do.

I was thinking that maybe we could each agree to make a post this month about a Christmas learning activity we did. We can choose a book, a nursery rhyme/song, and one craft and post about it (with pictures of our kids doing it). What do you think?
