Parents,
The most amazing thing happened over the weekend!!! All of the leaves fell off of our classroom tree! We determined that it must be winter. So exciting!
This morning we ate breakfast and drew a picture of a key in our journals. For our fine motor work we made frogs jump, created structures with bristle blocks, made towers with letter blocks, and cut holiday pictures and glued them on paper to make collages. During circle time we determined that it was rainy today (and I sprayed everyone with our squirt bottle so they could feel rain), counted to 15 during calendar and continued our red/green pattern, and danced to "Peanut Butter". After circle time we continued dancing, doing 3 more songs, because it is in the 30s outside and not everyone had a heavy coat. I read the book "The Snow Tree", about forest animals decorating a tree in the woods with found objects. After the book we all placed decorations on our classroom tree. We moved to centers where in the art center we all cut stars to go on top of our winter trees that we created last week and we placed decorations on them. In the big toys center we created structures with many shapes/sizes of blocks. We ended center time today by mixing shaving cream together with silver glitter and working with it on our art table. We are VERY sparkly! We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K (brrrrr!). This afternoon we'll cut stars, triangles, and rectangles to form trees in Pre-K. We are working hard on learning all of our geometric shapes.
Have a great night! Stay warm!
