It's December, so even though we had a post recently about the season starting too early, I decided it was time to break out the Christmas decorations! I pulled out all the ornaments and garlands. The goal is to make the classroom festive and welcoming. When you start decorating, it helps everyone to get into the spirit of the holiday right away. Mai the flamingo is helping me hang the ornaments!
