Snowmen Fun!

Snowman Place Mats

With the return of wintry weather , it was time to create some new art for our snack time placemats. After watching a lovely book called, Snowballs, the Pre-K's created their own snowman on a snowy background. Using a q-tip to paint with is a wonderful pre-writing skill. We also developed pre-numeracy skills while comparing the size of the snowballs as we built our snowman (large, medium, and small). They turned out so unique; we'll enjoy seeing our art everyday while we have snack. 

Collaborative Art

It was a team effort to make the most beautiful decoration for our upcoming Christmas concert! Each student was hard at working painting and decorating a paper plate. We used the paper plates to create an astounding Christmas tree! Be sure to look for our masterpiece next week at our concert!

Christmas Concert

We have been busy practicing our concert songs. Our students are pretty excited to perform for you next week. Our concert will be happening on Wednesday, December 4th at 6:30 pm. Doors will open at 6:15 pm - you can drop your child off in the classroom with us and then go find a seat for the big show!

Christmas Party

Our Christmas parties will be happening on Thursday, December 19th. The Monday/Wednesday students are welcome to join in the fun during their regularly scheduled class time (either the morning or afternoon).

• We will be asking some parents to send snacks for our special day, watch for an email soon to see if it is your turn!
• We plan to decorate gingerbread houses with our students. We will be asking each family to send a small bag of candy (one kind is fine) and we will mix all of the candy together for the students to share so they each get a variety of candy to use for their house. 
• We are looking for a couple of parents to help out by making icing! If you can make some icing for us please let us know and we can share our Royal Icing Recipe.
• Our afternoon class is still looking for volunteers to help out with our Christmas party! If you are interested in decorating gingerbread houses with us, please let us know.
• This day will also be a pajama day, don't forget to wear your coziest pajamas for our last day of classes before the New Year.
