It's Cold Outside

We were glad to see the children bundled up today.  It still is winter outside.

Choice Time:  The children were given a chance to choose between table top easels, catch-a-ball cones and bubble wrap.  Mrs. Whiteman taped a long strip of bubble wrap on the table and on the floor and the children enjoyed popping it with their fingers and feet.

Circle Time:  We read the story "I Love You, Blue Kangaroo".  It was about a girl and her favorite stuffed animal that she liked to take with her everywhere.  Afterwards, each child was given a chance to tell us about their favorite stuffed animal.  We also tried a new activity song called "Circle Time".  We had to hold hands and follow the directions.

Snack:  Bryson brought rainbow Goldfish and juice.  Thank you.

Free Play:  The children were given an opportunity to paint with balls at the easels.  All of the balls had different textures on them.  The Magic Nuudles were also out.  We rang the gong early and encouraged them to clean up quickly so that we could play a quick game of Hide 'N Seek.  What a fun way to end the day.

Remember that Bring a Grown-Up to School Day is Thursday.  We hope that every child will have a special adult with them to share all of the fun activities.
