Can this really be January 5th?

The afternoon class made these name snowmen to hang on our lockers.......

Then we played outside for extra time to enjoy the 60 degree weather! It was so nice that we were able to take our coats off and enjoy the swings on the playground :)

The children have been asking and asking if they can swing and I thought that it would be a great way to celebrate the warm January weather.

We are hoping this weather sticks around for awhile!

Happy New Year!

Paper towel tube snowmen made by the afternoon class.

Merry Christmas!

The afternoon class made Thank you cards for Santa. We used our fingerprints to decorate the trees on the cards.

Merry Christmas!!

Thanksgiving Activities

As Thanksgiving gets closer, our activities are reflecting the upcoming holiday. The afternoon class made peanut butter. We shelled the peanuts, blended them with oil in the blender, and ate our delicious peanut butter on crackers. Thank you to Dorothy for her recipe, equipment, and tips!

All classes are counting out "whipped cream" onto little pumpkin pies. We are working on number identification and counting during this activity.

The morning classes used brown markers and orange watercolor paint to paint a piece of pumpkin pie. Tomorrow we will glue on the cotton whipped cream.

Another activity the children are enjoying is giving this wooden turkey feathers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall Walk

We enjoyed the beautiful fall weather today with a walk in the neighborhood. As we walked we noticed the colorful leaves that are falling from the trees.

We worked together to put the leaves in a big pile.......and then took turns jumping in!

Stop, Drop, and Roll

During our Fire Safety theme, we learned what to do if our clothes ever catch on fire.




Stop......

Drop.............

and Roll.

House Fire Painting

We are learning about fire safety in the three year old preschool class this week.

During art we made some paintings of a house on fire.
We started out with thin red, yellow, and orange paint. We blew the paint around our paper with straws. It was hard work!

Then we added smoke with paint rings and gray paint.
