At the table today we snipped around a paper plate to make snowflakes. We then mixed blue paint, white paint and glue together as well as purple paint, white paint and glue and painted our snowflakes. Once we were finished we sprinkled glitter on our glue and paint mixture to make our snowflakes sparkly! We were able to make it to the playground for a few minutes today due to the decent weather. The kids enjoyed the fresh air.

At the table today we worked in our goal binders. We practiced tracing lines, shapes, letters of our names, naming shapes, colors as well as counting pictures of objects. The activities that are in each kids binders are linked to developmental milestones as well as our Learning Targets. Each kid has taken so much pride in their binder and love using a wipe off marker! We enjoyed using instruments for the song "Stop and Go" and worked on big and small during circle. Don't forget Family Game Night is tonight down in the Panther Cub room.
At the table today we made snowmen using shaving cream, glue and blue food coloring. We then used googly eyes, buttons and pipe cleaners to decorate them. This was a wonderful sensory experience. It felt like shaving cream when you first touched it, but then got very sticky from the glue. After each kid had the opportunity to touch it they could then choose to use their hands or a paint brush to spread it around. We look forward to a full week next week!
Our table top activity today was stringing pretzels to make a necklace. Most of the kids had fun eating them as they strung them (if you find an empty string in their backpack it was once a necklace!) Our story this week is "Matt and Molly; Molly Eats Soup." In the story Molly tries eating her soup first with a fork then with a plastic knife, then finally figures out she needs a spoon to eat her soup.
