Our Creative Tots Took the Stage During Music Camp Week!
Today at group we talked about clouds and how they are made. The kids were amazed as they watch our cloud in a bottle experiment.
With the sunshine and warm weather finally arriving, it was hard to find a reason not to stay outside! We decided to have group time outside on our playground. The kids did a fabulous job sitting and listening the whole time had group! 
Today during group time, Carson put on his special astronaut suit to show everyone. The kids were so excited to see a real space suit!
We have been talking about rocketships blasting into space and doing many countdowns as a class! This afternoon we experimented with a balloon, straw, and piece of string during group time. We asked the question “what do you think will happen if I blew up this balloon attached to the straw and then let it go?”

This week we are exploring the world of Polar Bears. At group time we have been talking about where polar bears live, how they keep warm and what they like to eat. The kids have loved exploring the real life pictures of polar bears on our magnet board.
Today during group time we played a game called “Who’s in the Present?” ALl of the children had to close their eyes while one child was picked to go inside of the present. When they heard “open your eyes!”, they couldn’t wait to look around and try and figure out who was missing from the group! If they were having a hard time, they got a clue if it was a boy or a girl. When they made their final guess, we turned the present around to find out who was inside! This was the highlight of their afternoon! All we kept hearing was “Can we do it again!!”

The children have been using bright and beautiful water colors to create turkey feathers. This week we have been talking about the Thanksgiving holiday and they couldn’t wait to create their own turkeys! Here is a song we have been singing that you can try to sing at home!
(to the tune of “Pop Goes the Weasel”)
A Turkey is a funny bird
His head goes Wobble, Wobble
He only knows one word…
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!
Here are some of our Early 3’s children working hard at their scissor skills! They are cutting their paper into little pieces and sorting the scraps by color. They are really coming a long way with their scissors!

This month we are learning about different nursery rhymes. The kids worked really hard creating this beautiful mural of the nursery rhyme “Hey Diddle Diddle”. Each class made a different part of the nursery rhymes to create the whole rhyme. They loved watching as each piece was added to the mural!
