It was so good to see everybody again! The kids enjoyed sharing their toys at Show and Tell on Tuesday. They were also glad to see Mrs. Jenkins and sing some new songs! During center time we turned the sand table into The Arctic. We filled the tub with snow (potato flakes) igloos, a dog sled, beluga whales, penguins, seals, polar bears and lots of other arctic animals! Its' been one of the favorite areas for the kids to play.
Other new activities were painting a snowman with Mrs. Chyko. Next week we'll work on decorating our snowmen. We used white glitter clay to create a snowman sculpture at the art table with Mrs. Gould. We put perler beads out for the kids to use in the morning and when Mrs. Swietlik visits on Wednesdays.
We heard lots of stories about snowmen this week including There Was An Old Lady who Swallowed some Snow, The Jacket I Wear in the Snow, Snowballs, and The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. After we read The Snowman we went into the music room and Mrs. Gould played the piano while we acted out the story to the music. There is a full length (30 mins) video of this available online if you'd like to let your child view it at home. In case you haven't seen it, it's a beautiful video. Here's the link:

Have a great week end!
