Jan. 7, 2009



Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast and drew a picture of a log in our journals. For our fine motor work we drew with dry erase markers, made frogs jump, moved magnetic circles with a magnet, and created pictures with shape tiles. During circle time we determined that it's sunny today, hung the big yellow sun over our tree, felt the flashlight to feel the warmth and the circle shape, and dressed our weather bears in jackets. We counted to 7 during calendar time and danced to "If You're Happy and You Know it" for our movement song. We played outside with Pre-K. I read "Will's Mammoth" for story time. We noticed that there were two "L"s in the title! On many of the pages there are no words so we took turns looking at the pictures and creating stories for those pages. We counted many different types of animals in the story (mammoths, saber tooth tigers, rhino's, and bears) and we noticed that it was snowing. During center time today we finished painting our craft sticks white and added glitter to them, pretended the home center was a restaurant, worked with glittery shaving cream and drew shapes and letters in it, and scooped and poured in the science center. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. After rest we'll create a huge batch of instant snow and work as a large group to mix the powder with water. We'll observe what happens and we'll create shapes and letters in the snow.
I hope you all have a great night!
