Happy Inauguration Day!!!!

I'm happy to announce that we have a UT intern joining us this semester. Her name is Lauren Avots and we are so happy to welcome her to our classroom.

This morning we at breakfast and drew a picture of a snowman in our journals. For our fine motor work we worked with our snow and people that we left out on Friday. It had mostly dried up so we were able to observe what happened when we added water again. We counted the number of sprays squirted on our snow. During circle time we determined that it's sunny and cold today. We put the big yellow sun over our tree and dressed the weather bears in jackets. We counted to 20 during calendar time and we danced to "Mary Had a Little Lamb". We played outside with our Pre-K friends. For story time today I read "The Biggest Snowball Ever!" We noticed that story looked a lot like the snow and people that we've been working with. During center time today we drew pictures about the story time book and a teacher scribed what we had to say about our pictures. We also continued working on our large, medium and small snowballs. We drew and cut small and medium today. We had lunch with another class today so we could watch the inauguration ceremony. Everyone did and amazing job of paying attention and being good listeners and guests. We played on the playground with Pre-K. After rest we'll continue math centers in Pre-K.
Have a great evening!
