Happy Monday!

On Friday Adrian was talking about his families celebration of Hanukkah and he made a book about his traditions in the art center.  Some of his friends were interested and asked questions about what his family does to celebrate.  Today Adrian brought in some books and a puzzle to share more with his friends about Hanukkah traditions.  Everyone enjoyed listening to a book about dreidels.  They also put the puzzle together as a group.  Anyone who has a special holiday tradition in their family is welcome to share with the class how their family celebrates winter holidays.

Everyone enjoyed exploring some holiday themed loose parts this morning.  Several friends chose to sort by shape or color.

The building rug was a busy place today attracting a big group.  Everyone enjoyed creating flying contraptions, ships and a very tall car to play imaginatively together!

PREK2: Today we practiced deep breathing with Rainbow breath.  We sang the “School Family” song that we have been learning and practiced different ways of greeting friends.  We shook hands, gave high fives and gave pinky shakes.  It took some focused attention to find our smallest finger!  We read the story “Bunnies’ first Snow” and talked about what kinds of animals hibonite and what kinds do not.  Last we practiced name recognition finding our name on the board and putting our sticker next to it.

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with butter and  fresh apple slices.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with kidney beans, fresh watermelon/ healthy fried apple treat cooked with just apples and cinnamon, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with granola.

Wee Sprouts:  Fresh cucumbers and red peppers
