Family Day

Family Day is a much loved tradition here at COLM, and the Friday before Thanksgiving we celebrated our 23rd annual Family Day. The children enjoy making a soup to share. All the families sent in ingredients, and the children prepared the soup on crock pots the day before. 

There were lots of carrots to peel and chop! 

The children loved adding the ingredients. 

We stirred and stirred. Finally the soup was ready to cook! The finished product was delicious. You can find the recipe here: ​http://amygreen.me/slow-cooker-chicken-posole/

Families were able to visit the classrooms and take a peek at all the activities the children enjoy working with. 

 After visiting the classrooms, the primary children made a turkey with their hand prints and a picture frame with their class picture. 

Next, we headed up to the sanctuary for our performance. Everyone did a wonderful job singing, and we were so proud of all the toddlers for their exuberant song and dance!
