This week, we read a book called Olive: The Other Reindeer by Vivian Walsh. Olive, who is a dog, thought she was a reindeer when she misheard kids singing "all of the other reindeer" in the Rudolph song. Olive thought they were singing "Olive the other reindeer," so she figured she was a reindeer and could do all the things that reindeer can do, like fly. The other reindeer knew Olive was a dog, but they humored her and tied a rope to her to let her fly along beneath them. When the sleigh got stuck on a tree, Olive chewed through the branches to free them and saved the day. They also made this book into a cartoon. You can watch it on YouTube by clicking this link.
Today for our art project we made hand-stamp reindeer. Mrs. Sears wins the forgetful teacher award because I forgot both my camera and my cell phone that day, so unfortunately there are no pictures from our activities. Hopefully, your child's reindeer made it home in one piece and you saw what we worked on.
Our next Winter Wonderland session is not until January 13, so I hope everyone has a peaceful holiday season! See you next year.
