Week of Dec 10 - 14

Hello Preschool Families

We are still reading books written and illustrated by Eric Carle.  The books for this week have been posted on the blog.  We will have a special snack of blue jello and cool whip to represent the story Little Cloud.  In the story Little Cloud the cloud changes shapes and turns into other objects.  On Friday we will follow up with the story It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw and see what how the stories are similar and different.  The children have been working VERY hard this month on a special surprise for the Book Share (Dec 20, 2018).  We hope to see you there. 

A few other things that are new in our classroom - the dress up area is back to a house area, but I added baby items for the children to play with.  Our magnet wall is going to have a marble run on it - so the children can explore different ways to make the marbles go down.  Brown Bear has been busy in the block area to create ta new challenge for the children to make.  Our water table will have shaving cream and animals...we will pretend the shaving cream are clouds in the sky.  I added a new yoga pose - ask your child to show it to you....it is the Zigzag pose.  And finally the new area in our classroom is the FREE ART AREA - where the children can go and be as creative as they want and use their artistic skills. 

Have a great week - we will be busy here learning and playing .
