Snow

This week we learned more about snow and winter in class. It's a little tricky teaching this topic when it's nearly 70 degrees outside, but we still had fun!

On Tuesday everyone made a paper snowman and we practiced dressing him in warm clothes. Today we practiced dressing ourselves in warm clothes, though no one really wanted to put the big snow coats on.

Next, we played with some fake snow...shaving cream.

We got a bit messy, but the kids had a great time. We ended the day with birthday cupcakes. Happy birthday to Corinne and Aaron, who both turned three this month!

Letter M

We also made some very cute q-tip snowflakes last week, but I forgot to take pictures! It was an easy and clever way to practice our gluing skills.

Hand and Footprint Rudolph

Last weeks crafts were so much fun. On Tuesday we made a King "K" which I forgot to photograph. Thursday we traced everyone's hands and one foot to create reindeer. The kids loved making these and so did I!

Just a reminder that this is the last week of preschool until January 4th. Since we had 10 classes in September, we are only a few classes shy of the usual amount and a tuition reduction was given to account for the missing week. Thanks for being so flexible so my kids can spend time with rarely seen cousins!

Thanksgiving Fun

Tuesday we used water paints and created beautiful cornucopias. Thursday we made turkey feather head bands. We are continuing to work on our scissor skills, patterns (ABAB and AABAAB patterns) and we also talked about the letter I this week.

See you Tuesday and then we'll have another day off to celebrate Thanksgiving!

H is for Horse

Sorry about the wacky formatting on the blog. I can't seem to get it quite right, and this is my 5th blog!

Today we learned about the letter H. The horses we made solicited more happiness than just about any other craft we've done. They didn't want to put them down once we made them!

Costume Party

We had a very fun day last Thursday at our class costume party. We were too busy playing and learning to take very many pictures.

Things we have been working on in class lately include:

ABAB patterns (pre-math skills)
The letters F and G
Days of the week
and as always...
Sharing. That one is so hard.

Class pictures coming soon!

Picture Day

Today was picture day and everyone looked their best! Our day was a little different then usual to accommodate the photography that took place and I forgot to send home homework folders. So enjoy your weekend with no worksheets to complete. Jenna said the pictures will be edited and ready in 1-2 weeks so we'll look forward to seeing everyone's famous smiles soon. Our class shot will be fun to see, it was a bit tricky getting 5 two year olds to stand still.

Have a great weekend!
