Pajama Day

What a fun and cozy day!  There were some cute sleepyheads coming into our classroom this morning.  They certainly enjoyed wearing their onesies, flannels, slippers and bringing their blankets from home. We brought out a new puzzle, played more with the new baby doll accessories and made handprints in a mitten for you.  We ran around outside, popped popcorn and rested in the room at the end of the morning and watched Paw Patrol for a little bit - a favorite!

Birthday celebration fun

We celebrated a birthday today and had a fun morning with friends.  Miss Kathleen taught us some new songs and read a couple of fun books to the class.  We were able to spend just a few minutes on the playground as we played choo-choo to run off some energy.  The sand table was popular today and we opened a few new toys, puzzles and books for our classroom.  We talked about pajama day coming up on Thursday... see you then!

Terrific Thursday

We started the day by finishing up our melted snowmen.  They enjoyed placing the snowman's hat, nose, arms, eyes and scarf on the white "melted" paint.  They wanted to work on more so we jumped right into feeling different textures and gluing them to a hand print.  We talked about colors, shapes and textures.We ended the day with a delicious healthy snack of yogurt and fruit kabobs and let them watch a few minutes of Paw Patrol - they loved the special treat!

Great day!

Today we made a "melted snowman" and worked on more of color sorting.  We also experimented with letter magnets and spelled our names with them.  The kids enjoyed making sounds with the letters and picking out letters of different colors.  It was such a beautiful day so we spent a few extra minutes outside.

End to a great week

Today we tried the sensory bin for the first time.  We looked and found snakes, bowls, spoons and other small objects in the rice.  The kids loved it, so we'll make another one next week with letters and colors for them to practice sorting.  The sand table was also open but who wants to do that when you have a new fun activity?!? We made our January placemats by painting paper snowflakes and gluing them on the paper.  Ms. Kathleen spent time with us singing and read a book that we love.  We also took advantage of the beautiful day outside.

Welcome Back!

We had a wonderful first day back! Everyone came in the classroom excited to see each other and let us know Santa was very good to them - trains, Paw Patrol and baby dolls were high on the list.  We made our January calendar, shared toys with friends, played on the playground, built towers with pegs and much more.
