Parents,
Reminder: no school on Monday.

This morning we ate breakfast and drew a picture of three sizes of snowballs on top of each other (looked a lot like the beginnings of a snowman). We went to the library with Pre-K and heard Ms. Kraal read two books, one about bears in the snow and one about a chicken in the snow. We played on the playground with Pre-K. During circle time we determined that it was cloudy with gray clouds, counted to 16 during calendar, and danced to "Disco Limbo" and we all went under the broom as it got lower and lower. We also introduced a new song that we sing about each person and talk about the attributes of their shirts (color, design, pattern, etc.). During centers we each painted a three-dimensional snowman made out of egg cartons. We painted them with white paint, then with glue, then sprinkled glitter all over them. We'll continue our work with them next week. We also created letter "M" art and practiced the letter "M" sound. When we finished all of our work we put Nibbles, the guinea pig, into a box and we observed her and touched her gently with one finger. We also took turns sitting very still and having her sit in our laps. She wasn't very good at sitting, she wanted to go, go, go. We worked with shaving cream just before lunch. We practiced writing our names and drew funny faces. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. After rest we'll continue our work with the snowmen we began creating a couple of days ago.
Have a wonderful three day weekend!
