Twas the Night Before
Christmas
We had a great week at
preschool following the Thanksgiving holiday! The kids were so excited to read
Twas the Night Before Christmas and learn Christmas songs for our field trip
next week. We talked about what we wanted for Christmas during writers workshop.
I want a clean house and someone wants a spider – I wish I could remember who
it was! Noah was really exicted about his new bunk bed and Bronwen was lucky
that she had pumpkin pie for dessert last night! After snack we took a picture
of our multicolored tongues from the fruit roll-ups. On Friday we were able to
make cookies and eat them for snack!
During math we talked about the countdown until Christmas.
Emily helped us make the Christmas chain to help us with the countdown. We ran
out of red and green construction paper, so only two lucky preschoolers were
able to take home a chain (the last ones to leave on Friday J). It was a fun
project, so if you have construction paper – maybe you can make some at home.
During craft time, we were all tempted by mini marshmallow
snowmen. Luckily there were a few marshmallows left after making the snowmen so
we were all able to enjoy a handful. The kids did great placing the
marshmallows all around the snowman they colored. They counted the dots for the
buttons, eyes, and mouth.
The kids also did great with making their very own
snowflakes. Emily decorated her entire wall, so the kids saw some beautiful
examples. Everyone was very responsible with the scissors and no one cut their
hair! They really enjoyed unfolding their paper to see their creation. The kids
cut lots of shapes in their snowflakes like triangles, diamonds, and squares.
We had fun with the phonics lessons. We learned about the
letters U and V. We were able to use an umbrella and go on a Very V Vacation.
Calli really wants a volcano picture! This was a fabulous week and we had a
blast working on Christmas and winter themed projects. Thank you everyone for
coming on Friday instead of Wednesday.
Next week is the
field trip to Krispy Kreme and caroling to sisters in the ward!
