Nursery Rhymes and Classic Stories

Last week we talked about Nursery Rhymes and Classic Stories. We turned our dramatic play center into Goldilocks and the Three Bears, tasted porridge, acted out Hey Diddle Diddle with puppets, and painted our own dish that ran away with the spoon. We also made houses out of straw, sticks, and bricks just like the three little pigs. We even had our own Humpty Dumpty that had a great fall right in our classroom! 

Winter

 

We had a great first week back after Christmas Break! We had Pajama Day and turned our Dramatic Play center into a Hot Cocoa Stand. This semester we have added "libraries" to our classroom. The kids love to sit and read in their own laundry basket with pillows!




 

We talked about animals that hibernate during the winter. We turned the lights off and students picked from several different animals.

Feast of St. Nicholas

Last Friday we celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas. We put our shoes outside our door during rest time, hoping he would stop by our room. He did! We all had some sweet treats in our shoes when we woke up! 

Cold and Rainy Days

Do you ever wonder what we do when it is too cold or rainy to play outside? We do yoga! It gets our bodies moving. We are becoming more aware of our movements and we are working on our balance, ability to focus, listening skills, and coordination.  All while having fun!

 

 

Fall Fun

We have had a lot of fun talking about leaves falling, carving pumpkins, weather changing, and making crafts! We are spending time playing in the leaves, carving pumpkins, and even making ghosts out of our feet!

Community Helpers

 

 

Thank you to all of the community helpers that came to speak to our class. We learned about several different jobs people do to benefit our community.
