Up went the Tree and out came the Elf! This week in Pre-K was full of festivities!
Students were excited to meet Snowflake the Elf. It has been so fun to spot Snowflake each day hiding around the classroom! The Pre-K's so far have found Snowflake in the Christmas Tree, on the Canada Flag pole, and stuck to the white board in a ferris wheel built by Snowflake! We wonder what Snowflake will be up to next week?!
Monday students helped decorate the big tree and all students had fun building their fine-motor skills hanging ornaments on our mini-trees.
Bread Lady
What a treat! Not only did we become bakers this week, we learned how wheat is ground into flour and met Ted the wheat grinding machine. We also learned how farmers plant and harvest wheat. We each had a turn planting some wheat seeds. We are excited to see if they grow! We worked together to make the bread dough. Kneading the dough was a hit! Then we each made our own bread. While it was baking we made cinnamon knots to eat as a special snack. Delicious! Thanks so much to the Bread Lady for sharing her Farm to Table learning experience and to all our amazing volunteers... we couldn't have done it without you!
Painting Christmas Lights
Here we are at work painting our sparkling Christmas lights art!
Christmas Crackers
Mrs. Stanski gave us Christmas crackers to help us understand our concert song: Pop Bang Crack! Most of us had never cracked Christmas crackers before. The Pre-Ks were delighted to discover the surprise inside! And of course they all enjoyed the 'Pop!' it made when we pulled them open!
