December 15, 2015 Tuesday
Here is what we did today:
Upon arrival the children were able to look and experience worms at the table. When we were done, we put them all in a container and closed the lid until Center Time. (Yesterday, we didn't put the lid on and 2 of the worms escaped!)
Choice Time: We practiced for the upcoming Holiday program and played with the parachute.
Circle Time: We read the story, "If You Take A Mouse to the Movies." It is a holiday book about a boy and his mouse and all of the activities they did on a day in December.
Snack Time: Huey brought Veggie Booty Corn/Rice Cheese puffs and juice for snack. Thank you Huey!
Center Time: All of the centers were open for the children to play. The worm container was opened once again and the children were allowed to look at the worms, see them under a magnifying glass, touch them, and some were even so brave as to hold them in their hands! Who would have thought we would be playing with worms in December!
Next time we meet is our Holiday Program at 10:30. Hope to see you all then!
(Sorry no pictures as I left my phone at home today!)

We have a mystery!
Here is what we did:
Today, when the children first came in, there were 4 worms on the discovery table for them to look at. (I had found them this morning on the sidewalk when I walked my dog.) The worms seemed very lifeless and we left them in open containers while we went on with our day.
Choice Time: During Choice Time, we practiced for the Holiday Program and played with the parachute as a large group.
Circle Time: As we went back to the rug to do our Attendance Book and story, "If You Take A Mouse To The Movies," we noticed that 2 of the worms had escaped! :o We looked everywhere and could not find them! .
Snack Time: Ellie brought goldfish and apple juice for snack. Thank you Ellie!
Center Time: While we were playing at all of the centers, Mrs. Christenson came into the room with one of the missing worms! :) (Never found the other one I am sorry to say. It is still a mystery!)
Remember that our Holiday program is Wednesday at 10:30. Bring a plate of cookies to share to celebrate a wonderful first semester of preschool!
Pictures are below:

December 9/10, 2015 Wednesday/Thursday
A beautiful day!
Here is what we did:
Choice Time: We spent time rehearsing for our upcoming Holiday Program. We also got a little wild and crazy with the action songs entitled, "Animal Actions."
Circle Time: We read the book, "Bear Says Thank You." In this book, a polar bear asks his mother for art supplies. Every time his mom brings him something, he says thank you. And then, when he gives his mom the art project he makes for her using these supplies, his mom says thank you in return. It allowed the opportunity to discuss the importance of thanking people in many different situations.
Snack Time: We made tortilla cheese pinwheels for Cooking Day. On Wednesday, we celebrated Addison's birthday. Happy Birthday Addison. On Thursday, we celebrated Jackson T, Jaxson S, and Huey. Happy Birthday Huey!
Center Time: All of the centers were open and there was painting at the easel. On Wednesday, Cheryl Winger was our parent volunteer and the children enjoyed the extra adult to play with them. Thank you Cheryl!
Have a great day and enjoy the warm temperatures! Pictures are below.

December 7/8, 2015 Monday/Tuesday
Here is what we did today:
Choice Time: We had 3 choices: obstacle course, tabletop easels, and make-believe mouse houses.
Circle Time: We read the story, "Merry Christmas Biscuit!" In the story, a puppy named Biscuit was a naughty puppy who took a candy cane off of the Christmas tree, ate the Christmas music off of the piano, pulled down a stocking off of the mantel, an ate a gingerbread cookie. We discussed the fact that despite Biscuit being naughty, his owners still loved him and wanted him to be a part of their family.
Snack Time: On Monday, Colin brought cheese sticks, pretzels, and milk. Thank you Colin! On Tuesday, Holden brought goldfish and apple juice. Thank you Holden!
Center Time: All of the centers were open and there was painting at the easel.
Pictures of snack time and center time are below. Have a great day!
