Monday


The children seemed almost starving to play act today!  They took a long journey on a vehicle that they said could to everything - from floating to flying!  Then a monster was chasing them and we had some rowdy behavior.  I think it might be holiday time!  Also Drew and Juno are getting very independent with the cuisenaire rods and Isaac wrote his whole name at school for the first time!!!!
We did some secret gift making of which you will get the results Wednesday.  Kiyo's family gave us a fun seasonal book about Santa visiting Colorado, we enjoyed reading it and recognizing some of the places.  Thank you!
The weather was quite warm so we ran up and down the ramp.

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.
