Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast and drew a picture of a pine tree. For our fine motor work we did a transportation puzzle, put sequencing cards in order, and matched restaurant objects with photographs. During circle time we determined that it's rainy today. We put the gray cloud and the rain drops over the class tree. We also put the raincoats on our weather bears. We counted to 9 during calendar and continued our red/green pattern. Our movement song was "If You're Happy and You Know it". We played outside with Pre-K. I re-read "The Little Pine Tree" today and we talked about the seasons and what the trees did during each season. We talked about the shape of the pine tree. During center time everyone cut out a big white triangle. We then mixed blue and yellow paint with our hands to create green. The triangles were clipped to our easel and everyone used their green hands to paint them. Ms. McGuire came today for speech therapy. After centers we read books about the winter holidays and looked at pictures from this season. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. After rest we'll go to math centers in Pre-K. In my center we'll continue creating our Santas with our hand print (counting our fingers), cutting out the triangles for hats, and creating faces and talking about the emotions they're showing.
Have a wonderful night!
