We completed our last gingerbread book today during group time, The Gingerbread Girl goes Animal Crackers. We decided to make our own gingerbread girl to gobble up! We added the ingredients, mixed and stirred, stirred and mixed, then formed the dough into the shape of a gingerbread girl! We knew from all of the stories we read that once we put her in the oven, WE COULD NOT PEEK or she might escape! We went outside for recess while she baked in the oven, but someone must have peeked because when we came inside, she was gone! The children searched the classroom and finally found her in the library! We used the rest of the gingerbread dough to make gingersnaps for snack time. They were delicious!
Ms. Joanie offers a special music class after school on Thursdays from 2:30-3:00. She introduced the children to handbells and they learned to play jingle bells! They did such a great job!

Today the Toddlers had so much fun with Ms.Joanie during music! Each child was given a chance to play the rainbow colored bells. They did a great job waiting for their turn. We talked about how we use our ears to hear instruments and songs.
We are focusing on stars this month in the Toddler room. We practice singing, “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star”, during group and music time! Today the children used star shaped cookie cutters to paint blue and pink stars. They also used star shapes to mold play doh. The boys and girls used their fine motor skills to grab the cookie cutters and move them up and down!
