Here is what we did today:
Choice Time: With the Holiday program fast approaching, we used Choice Time to practice the songs and rhymes we will be performing. Since that went so well, there was enough time left over to play with the parachute too.
Circle Time: The story, "Counting To Christmas" was read to the children. This book gave the children an opportunity to count all the way to 25! That is a lot of counting!
Snack Time: On Monday, Max brought apples and milk for snack. Thanks Max! On Tuesday, Evan brought frosted shredded wheat and milk. Thank you Evan!
Center Time: Painting at the easels and special coloring pages were available at the art center.
All of the other center activities were available at as well.
Hope to see everyone at the Christmas program at 10:30. Don't be late! (It doesn't last too long so you may miss it if you are late!) Also remember to bring a plate of cookies to share with everyone afterwards.

December 10/11, 2014 Wednesday/Thursday
Here is what we did today:
Choice Time: The 3 choices offered the children included: tabletop easels, a pretend mouse house activity, and a game called, "Jump the River."
Circle Time: The children were read the story, "Merry Christmas, from Biscuit." In the story, a girl made a present to give her grandparents. It was a picture/scrapbook of her puppy Biscuit. Because he was a puppy, he was always doing something he shouldn't like eating the ornaments off of the tree, chewing the music to the song they were singing, getting into the Christmas stockings, and eating the cookies set out for Santa. They loved Biscuit anyway! This gave us an opportunity to talk about the different pets the children have and some of the things they have done that were a little naughty like the dog in the story. We also practiced our songs for the upcoming program.
Snacks: The children made their snacks today: tortilla/cheese rollups. On Wednesday, we celebrated Riley's birthday with a brownie. Happy Birthday Riley! On Thursday, we celebrated Aleena's birthday. Happy Birthday Aleena!
Center Time: All of the centers were open and painting at the easels was available.
Remember the program is at 10:30 next Wednesday/Thursday. Hope to see you all then!
