How do YOU eat a Gingerbread man? Where would your first bite be for this delicious holiday treat? After decorating our very own gingerbread pirates we took our first bite and recorded it on a pictograph.
We have been working very hard this year to fill up our Book Jar with marbles so we could enjoy a well deserved party….and we did it! We enjoyed a wonderful holiday movie with friends as we boarded the Polar Express with our special golden tickets!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
In small groups today, the children practiced their number recognition and fine motor skills by clipping clothespins onto circles with numbers on them. Whatever number was on the circle cut-out, the children had to place the corresponding amount of clips around the edge. In our other small group, the children practiced writing letters with play-dough. In the last small group, the children painted white paper with red paint using marbles. The paper will be cut out in a candy-cane shape and sent home on Friday!
We had a blast during whole group. We have been reading the story “Dream Snow” by Eric Carle. The children have so much fun guessing which animal is hiding behind the snow. I made up my own rendition of the book for an activity. I have all of the children shut their eyes then I throw a sheet over one of them and carry them to the center of the group. I have all of the children open their eyes and look around. They have to figure out who is missing then guess who is under the “snow”/sheet.
Hoping you all are having a fantastic week so far!!

Painting snowflakes with cookie cutters…. (the children later decorated it with a “melting snowman.”)
In Early 3’s on Monday, we practiced our matching skills. The children would pick a card with a mitten on it. They would look at the mitten cards laying on the floor and find the match. We continued to work on our number recognition by giving the children cut-outs of snowmen with numbers (1-6) on the bottom of the snowmen. The children had to place the corresponding amount of buttons on their snowman.
