What a great day to make our own snowman! It was a cold snowy day outside. As we watched the snowflakes fall from the sky out our windows we decided to create our own snowmen inside the classroom.

We worked our fine motor muscles as well as our scissor skills as we created our
own gingerbread houses…
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!
Throughout the month, the Toddlers have been learning all about their senses. Today we focused on touch. The boys and girls molded and manipulated playdoh while strengthening their fine motor skills. We also worked on sorting today. We practiced placing soft and hard balls into the correct container. The children did a great job determining where the objects belong.
This month on our light table we have tiny colored lights for our preschoolers to practice their sorting skills. Choosing which bowl the light goes in is great practice for developing math sorting skills. Picking up the tiny lights is a wonderful way for the preschoolers to strengthen their fine motor muscles.
Today the Toddlers helped decorate our room with festive lollipops! The boys and girls took turns painting rainbow colors all over the paper plates. They turned out so cute, we decided to put them on display in our room!
This month we are learning all about our senses! During group time this week, we have been reading the story, “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?” The children like to chime in on all of the noises the animals make throughout the book. During our art center today, the boys and girls used their fine motor skills to add white rice to the polar bears body.
The toddlers had another fun day decorating festive cookies and painting turkeys with water colors! The boys and girls enjoyed singing songs and playing the guitar with Ms.Joanie during music and movement. We practiced “Jingle Bells” and “A turkey is a funny bird”. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving break with family and friends… see you next week!
