Tues AM


Again I can't seem to get the pictures to load in the order I would like.  We read separately, a book about a snowy day and a book about stars and our activity surrounded these subjects.  We talked about how most snowpeople consist of three balls, sizes small, medium and large. We made a big snow person together then the children went about creating their own snow people with paper and glue, using markers to make faces.  We also painted some gorgeous watercolor stars.  In between we colored, playacted, constructed in blocks and painted at the easel.

TUESDAY AM

Arghhh!  Ahoy mateys!  We indulged in some pirate play today, which also presented itself with some skill acquisition opportunities!  Firstly, after reading the fun book below we drew our own treasure maps.  Drawing the "X's" to mark the spot where the treasure is buried is also a good way to cross the midline! We painted "gold nuggets" for our treasure and engaged in lots of cooperative dramatic play which is super great for language development and, of course, social skills... Hazel, as well as Isaac are writing their full names!  AND another special name: MOM. Above, it was fun to wash the rocks before we painted them and below we counted our gold coins. The children discovered that more gold coins were buried in the rice!

What happened to the Gingerbread Man? We ate him!  After, reading 2 versions of the story and play-acting it - see Isaac acting as the G-Man below.  We decorated our own big cookie and then threw "indoor snowballs" at each other in the hallway.  When we came back into the room the G-Man we made had tried to escape!  We found him in our fake snow and then proceeded to nibble on him!

The kids played "doctor's office." We love using Miss Jill's pastry cutter with the play dough.  Isaac wrote his entire name for the first time by himself at school!! Milestone! We played the game Don't Spill the Beans and enjoyed reading a shadow version of The Polar Express.
