Music to Our Ears

Our week seemed to fly by! On Monday we re-read the Abiyoyo story and made our own ukelele. 

Tuesday was our trip to Hann's Christmas Tree Farm. It was VERY cold for our morning class, but warmed a bit for the afternoon class. We saw Mr. Hann's "babies" (trees planted this year) and learned that trees that are ready to be cut for Christmas are about 8-years-old. We also saw how they make wreaths out of evergreen branches.You can visit Hann's Tree Farm on Facebook to see details on how Christmas trees are grown. See all the photos on our gallery page!

Wednesday we watercolor painted to classical music. It was very relaxing! These beautiful pieces of work are now decorating our classroom.

On Thursday we made love trees...you will have to wait to see these adorable creations until closer to Christmas...

Please be sure to send all outside winter gear now that it is getting colder outside. We do go out everyday (unless it is raining). Also, a complete change of clothes should be in your child's backpack in case he/she spills or has a bathroom accident. Thanks!

Also, for those parents who drop their kids off at school, we are going to start enforcing the district policy that states that children may not be dropped off more than 5 minutes prior to class. So if you arrive before 7:55am/11:55am, please know that you will need to wait outside or in your vehicle until the doors are unlocked prior to class. Thanks for your help in starting our day smoothly!!!
