Royal Fun!

We enjoyed being royal this week. Monday we read about The Knight and the Dragon and created a dragon of our own. We painted on bubble wrap and “stamped” our dragons onto it to give them awesome texture.

Tuesday we watercolor painted a picture of a knight and then we painted a picture of a royal scene. On Wednesday we made fancy crowns.

We wrapped up the week on Thursday with our Royal Tea Party that we dressed up in royal attire.

We had delicious chicken nuggets for our party just like the Knight and the Dragon cooked together. We also created a castle picture frame and put in a photo of ourselves in royal clothing. You can see more photos on our photo gallery page.

Foods Around the World

We enjoyed our short week after last week’s long one! This week we talked about foods around the world. We even had three restaurant play areas--Italian, Mexican & Chinese.

Italian Restaurant

Tuesday we made a pizza counting/matching game for our Italian-themed day. Did you play it with your child yet? Simply choose a pizza slice from the bag and find the match on the pizza.

We made a shape taco on Wednesday-our Mexican day.  We like using fun ways to reinforce colors, shapes and numbers!!

Chinese was our theme on Thursday and we made fortune cookies. We selected a fortune to put inside and laced it up.

Next week are back to our regularly-scheduled 4 day, Monday-Thursday week. Yay!!

Snow Much Fun!

This week was all about snow. Monday we read “The Snowy Day” and made a picture using our fine-motor skills to tear paper for the background. These pictures are formed into a decorative “quilt” that is in our hallway.

Tuesday we painted a snowman and added buttons for fun features. We worked on sizing to make another snowman on Wednesday.

Thursday we created an awesome Olaf bag. We wrapped up our long week with a snowman snowglobe. We also did a number of special snow-themed activities since we had an extra day this week including some polar bear and penguin yoga which we just LOVED!

Holiday Gifts & Book Exchange

Thank you to everyone who bought gifts for our classroom! The kids are so excited to use them when we come back in January. Also, thank you for the generous gifts for the teachers...they were not necessary but are certainly appreciated.

Below are pictures from our holiday fun today. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We will see you on Monday, January 5th and don't forget, it is going to be a five day week!!!

Our Short Week

Tuesday we created our December Person Book page. The increase in the amount of details on the self-portraits from September until now is amazing!

We practiced patterning with bells as we made instruments for our holiday sing on Wednesday. We are getting soooo excited to get up on that stage and perform for you! Don't forget that is will be held at St. Joseph's Church, Lower-Level Stage Area on Monday, December 22nd at 5:30pm.

Thursday was our trip to Hann’s Tree Farm. Thank you to the chaperones who joined us and to those who generously volunteered but were not selected to come. You can see more photos on the photo gallery page.
