12/2 Update!

It's hard to believe that it is already December! This week, we learned all about the letter M, and read lots of fun monster books. A few of our favorites included Go Away Big Green Monster, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, Where the Wild Things Are, If You're a Monster and You Know It, and Monsters Love Colors. During center time, we mixed colors to make new colors, made mice for our letter books, played many different monster games, compared same and different monsters, made monster masks, and went on a monster hunt. We also practiced our colors in Spanish and sang our Spanish colors song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpLQSdu4V94).
