Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast and drew a picture of a candy cane in our journals. We noticed that there was a red/white pattern on it. For our fine motor work we created pictures using different shape/color/size wooden pieces, strung beads on strings, matched shapes using folder games, and cut pictures out of magazines to make collages. We also had a free art table with markers and paper. During circle time we determined that it's sunny today (we also felt the heat from a flashlight), counted to 10 and continued our red/green pattern during calendar, and danced to "Button Factory". We did some extra dances because it was too cold to go outside. We danced to "Hand Dance" and "Lettercise". During centers we painted squares made from craft sticks. We used red and green paint. We noticed that when the colors mixed it made brown. We also cut out rectangles to put on the base of our pine trees that we created yesterday. We rotated through many centers today: toy center with blocks, home center, small toys center with Mr. Potato Head, and the science center with rice to scoop/fill/empty. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. After rest we'll go to Pre-K and create Rudolph antlers (we'll be singing with the entire school next Thursday and our song is "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"). We'll create antlers by tracing our hands, counting our 10 fingers, and cutting them out. We'll staple them to a headband.
Enjoy this cold day!
