Can you believe the break is here???!!!! It's hard to believe!
Today was filled with fun and the children were so excited to wear their PJs today! Ms. Carol and I went as casual as we could......yoga pants! We watched Evan's skeleton PJs which glowed in the dark. Everyone watched as he danced- just like a skeleton.
We began with each child using felt characters to retell the Gingerbread Story- everyone knows it by heart. Ask your child to tell you the story.
We took a good look at the calendar today- when we return every piece will have changed- the day of the week, month, year and season! The kids KEEP asking when fall ends and winter begins- we counted today and it's only 5 days away, though it feels more like spring today.
During circle, we read If You Take a Mouse to the Movies by Laura Numeroff. This adorable little book told of a high-maintenance mouse. There are many, many fun activities that can accompany this story, but we only had time to talk about the chaos that this mouse causes!
Following our outside play, we divided into groups, with Ms. Carol leading an articulation and language (matching) game. I spent some one-on-one time with the children, assessing some math and language skills.
Ms. Carol brought gifts for the children, which we turned into a language and social activity, opening each one at a time. Thank you, Ms. Carol!
Finally, we a short movie during lunch. Following lunch, we sang Happy Birthday to Beau, who celebrates a birthday next week.
I hope each of you have the happiest of holidays. If you get a chance, write about the holiday in your journal.
Many thanks again for the super awesome gifts! You guys are the best and I'm delighted to be able to work with your family. Ellen
