This morning Frosty joined us in our circle for the Donut Shop Game and danced with the children while listening to his song. The children were able to identify important parts of a snowman: hat, eyes, nose, mouth, scarf, arms, mittens. The children also identified their own noses while studying the snowman. It was then time that we became snowmen ourselves! Miss Lisa wrapped the children up in rolls of toilet paper, then we put on hats, mittens and scarves.

The children also took time this morning to read individually on their rugs. Many are old enough now to identify a space of their own and enjoy some quiet focus time exploring books or other individual activity.

 

After that, the children decided to dress up. We talked about going to a big party and called it the “Snow Ball.” Miss Amy was busily getting the children in their party dresses, the boys in their “glittery pants,” and let the music begin! They danced to “Jingle Bells,” and the “First Noel,” around our circle.

Shaving cream filled the kitchen table, which of course, was snow! We brought out our monkeys to let them play in it. Elizabeth loved this.

 

For breakfast this morning, we had scrambled eggs with ham, and fresh apple slices. Our lunch was hot ham and cheese on English Muffins, corn, and bananas.

Happy Holidays!
