Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast and drew a picture of a jacket in our journals. For our fine motor work we fit shapes in a shape container, threaded spools on strings, and connected pop beads to make shapes. During circle time we determined that it's sunny today, we dressed our weather bears in jackets because it's cold outside, counted to 2 during calendar, and danced to "5 Little Ducks". I read "Hold Tight, Bear!" during story time. We finished our friendship bears today. Everyone cut out their friends' pictures and glued them on a piece of poster board. We drew features on our bear faces (that we painted yesterday) and talked about how our bears felt. We glued googly eyes on them, too. We glued the bear head at the top of the paper in the middle, the two front paws at the top beside the head, and the two rear paws on the bottom. It looks like the bear is holding a sign with our friends' pictures on it (I'm not publishing a picture of them because they have student faces on them). We also continued working in our home center/restaurant. There is a lot of great language going on in there! Ms. McGuire came for speech therapy today. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. This afternoon we'll continue working on our scarves with zig-zags and slanted lines.
Have a wonderful night!
