We talked about animals that live in Alaska and the Northern Lights this week. We read the books
Mama, Do You Love Me? about an Inuit Mother and child as well as
Baby Beluga and Alaska A,B,C's. We also watched a few videos of the northern lights.
Here is one of the videos we watched:

During activity time we used watercolors and salt to create our own version of the Northern Lights. We added an indoor hopscotch rug to our classroom. Gigi was our Maple Leaf of the Week. Her Mom came in on Thursday and read us a super cool book called Press Here by Herve Tullet. Ask your kids what happened when they pressed the dots in the story...it had all of us in giggles!! Then we played a game where we threw a colored dice, drew a matching color card, and acted out what it said to do. Some of the ideas were twirl around, march in place, do a happy dance, etc. Gigi sent in delicious pink frosted cookies so we could celebrate her 3 1/2 year old birthday!! Thanks Gigi for helping make our week extra special!!
