It also shares some holiday traditions of the childcare staff and upcoming intergenerational events at a senior living center including decorating a Christmas tree and an annual Hanukkah Tea. The document concludes with a note from the childcare teachers thanking families for a successful harvest luncheon and discussing a field trip to a botanical garden and preparation for a holiday program.

1. It’s hard to believe we are now in December as the months seem to be flying by. I know this is a busy month for everyone,
so please keep me informed if your child is not going to here during the holidays as our staff like to take time off to be with
their families as well. Also, we have some great events this month so don’t forget to put them on your calendar. We need
your help in the hallway with the cubbies to keep coats and personal items inside the cubbies. Residents using walkers or
wheelchairs can trip or get caught up in them as they pass by this area. Have a great month, Jeni Hoover

2. From the KELC Teachers:
From the Classroom:
We had so much to be thankful for during the month of November. We were so thankful for all our families and grandfriends
who took time out from their busy schedules to join us for our Harvest Luncheon. The children worked really hard and had lots
of fun as they worked on centerpieces and tablecloths and helped with preparing the food. We would like to give a special
thanks to our Parent Group who helped to make this a success. We are also thankful for our new grandfriend Ann who has
started visiting us on Wednesday mornings. We are very thankful to the ELI program for all the great trips to University Circle
that they make possible. This month we visited the Botanical Gardens where we discussed living and non-living objects. The
children also enjoyed looking at all the beautiful holiday decorations. The children have already started practicing their songs
for our holiday program. Hope to see you there.
Karen, Macie, Sara, Robin and Mary
