Along with Positivity, Engagement, and Meaning (with a focus of Self-Compassion and Resilience), we also focused on Holidays Around the World! For the past two weeks, we traveled all around the world and discussed a variety of traditions and different ways to celebrate.
We also celebrated by having our Annual Holiday Party last Friday! The teachers planned SO many fun and festive games, activities, and art! We enjoyed listening to festive music, had a book exchange, and ended it with a festive luncheon! As always, a HUGE Thank You to the families that donated to make our party a success!!!
Last Saturday, the BBCLC team had our Annual Holiday Party! We started it off with a Gingerbread House Contest. So much fun and so many laughs! I highly suggest having a timed gingerbread house contest at your house!!!Â
We enjoyed a catered dinner & charcuterie board (@grazebythebay), played trivia games* and ended it with a gift exchange!
Congratulations to Ms. Brittany and Ms. Kristian for winning the most votes!!!
