We began our morning
with Morning Journals. The Cardinals were encouraged to draw a picture of what
they might be doing this weekend. The children had so much to say. One friend
drew a picture of the “Storyland” they will be visiting and another made a
drawing and wrote some words on the experience she will be having sleeping over
her aunt Holly’s house.
Afterwards, we headed to the Music Room for the Winter
Program rehearsal. All the 3’s/4’s classes joined Jason and some of
the 4th graders. We are SO excited and cannot wait for all our families
and friends to see the performance. It will be SPECTACULAR! Please remember to dress your child with a black long sleeve top and black bottom, e.g., pants, skirts, leggins. You are welcome to add a white accessory as a way to connect to our theme (white hair accessory, white scarf, white tie, white bowtie, etc.)
Upon our return form Music rehearsal, we had free Choice
Time were some friends imagined to be “Mommy and daughters” in the Dramatic
Play Area or a Daddy feeding his “baby.”
One friend began to collect the MagnaTiles he needed to
build a “car garage” and a visiting friend joined in to help.
Another friend cooked us all a delicious “Jamaican food” dish in the Kitchen Area.
A friend created an elaborate structure with blocks in the
Block Area which she called “Aunt Holly’s House.”
In the Literacy Center, a few friends played a game of “Animal
Bingo.” This game included real-life color photos of different animals such as
a dog, cat, cow, chicken, bird, pig, elephant, fox, fish, sheep, donkey, duck,
mouse, rabbit and horse. A friend would spin the wheel and read out loud the
name it would land on. What a great way to develop listening skills, learn new
words, and practice reading for those who are ready to read.
After much work indoors,
we went outside to enjoy a glorious sunny and snowy day.
Before lunch, we had a friend share her V.I.P. item, her eagle’s homemade costume. Stunning! Thank you, Kate. Also, thank you for the most scrumptious muffins we had the chance to enjoy during Snack Time!
Our day ended with the sharing of a sweet snack to celebrate
our friend Jayden’s 5th birthday. Happy birthday Jayden! ¡Feliz
cumpleaños!
