12/22 Classroom Update

I am so proud of what a wonderful job our preschoolers did at our winter performance! They have been working so hard all year to learn the songs and motions with Ms. Janet, and all of their hard work really showed! I also want to say a big thank you to all of the parents who helped out with our winter party and made it such a special occasion for our preschoolers!

Here are a few pictures from our "dress rehearsal" before the real concert:

This week, we read the classic story The Mitten, and engaged in lots of fun winter and mitten related centers. On Thursday, we were able to relax by watching clips from The Polar Express in our jammies while sipping on some hot cocoa. Here are some picture highlights from the week:

Building letters with winter erasers!

Coloring and writing about our mittens! We will finish lacing them when we return from break!

Playing Gumdrop Roll & Count!

Watching clips from The Polar Express on Pajama Day!

I wanted to wish everyone a very happy holidays, and I hope everyone has a relaxing and wonderful winter break (as relaxing as this hectic time of year can be!). I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with our preschoolers each day. They truly bring so much joy to my life, and I love watching them learn and grow! Thank you for sharing your children with me - that is the greatest gift!

Happy holidays from my family to yours!
