What Happened to December?

I don't know about anyone else, but for me December was a whirl wind of activity, and was gone before I knew it!  Even though it is always so busy, it is my favorite month in the preschool!  So full of excitement and wonder!  Here is a glimpse of all that was happening in the classroom in the month of December..........

 Here are our bulletin boards......(the bottom is titled 

"With your nose so bright!")

Graphing

Letter Matching

                 Art

 Searching for Holiday Treasures!

Making Reindeer Food!

 Body Art!

My favorite was searching for Gingerbread Men in the school! 

But Best of all was decorating Gingerbread Cookies!

YUM!

Thank you so much Mrs. Godbout!  They were DELICIOUS!

Thanks to all for the very generous donations to the PTA Raffle Baskets!  Don't forget the Holiday Fair is December 6th!

The snow has arrived! 

 Don't forget your snow gear and please try to label as much as possible!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

                                                                                      Painting with Feathers!

 Practicing our Letters and Numbers!

November is a crazy month!  Having so many holidays, our rhythm is a little off!  But even so, we have been busy!  Here is a peek at all we have been up to!

Exploring a Sunflower

We used our fine motor skills to pick and gather sunflower seeds in a  cup!

What Fun!

The Three Little Pigs

 

This is a story bracelet.  I love this idea!  Not only does it help us to remember the sequence of a story, but we practice our fine motor skills too!  This is how it works.  Each bead represents something in the story:

3 pink beads = the three pigs

yellow bead = house of straw

brown bead = house of sticks

red bead = house of bricks

black bead = the big bad wolf

blue bead = the pot of boiling water

You can practice this story at home with your children and help them remember the sequence of this wonderful fable/fairy tale!

We also enjoyed acting out the story!

And retelling it with our flannel board pieces....

We love The Three Little Pigs!!
