Welcome Back! January 2009
















Today we had our first movement class with Miss Krista. We spent some time balancing on a line, jumping with both feet together, crawling through a tunnel, and balancing a bean bag on our body! We also scooted balloons with our hands. It was lots of fun!

Welcome Back!

January 2009

We have lots of fun planned for January 2009
We look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday, January 7th!
Upcoming events/themes for this chilly month include: building a classroom Snowman, "The Mitten" by Jan Brett, Animals in Winter, and Winter Clothing.
The children also will start their "Movement Class" on Wednesdays. We learn and practice: hand to eye coordination, tumbling, stretching, and balancing. These classes are about 20 minutes in Holland Hall. The classes are lots of fun and the children love Miss Krista. Please be sure to dress your child in comfortable clothing on these days and please no hair bows or hard shoes. Sweats, or leggings, etc seem to work best.
Our color of the month is Blue and our shape is Diamond.
We wrap up the month of January with John Rosemond Seminars, Teacher Conferences, and Carter's Birthday!!!!

Getting Ready for Christmas...





Peppermint Painting with Marbles:




The children enjoyed this fun art project. They were all so patient waiting their turns. We dipped marbles into cups of red paint, mixed them together, and then rolled them across the white paper creating "peppermint patterns". This group really has amazing concentration and patience! They are so much fun! This is why they had red paint all over their hands yesterday!
















Wednesday in preschool, we started getting ready for Christmas. The children helped Ms. Beth assemble our fireplace. Complete with colored flames! We will hang our stockings and place our nativity set on the mantle.



We also painted Christmas Trees at the easel:





I love the concentration from Jackson!
