Week of January 23

Our shape this week was CIRCLE.

We read If You Give a Pig a Party by Laura Numeroff.

For our Art Center we made party Pigs. We used pink circles to make the head and nose... and pink and purple dots for the party hat. They turned out very full of personality.

For our Sensory Center we played with water beads in a bag. We squished the. We also tried to move them around to put like colors together.

For a Skill Center we practiced our scissor skills. We used safety scissors to snips pink and purple strips of paper. We practiced holding them with our thumb facing up.

For another Skill Center we made a circle. We used a Qtip and pink paint to fill in the dots to make a circle. Some of our little ones finished quickly, so they worked on tracing the word circle with a pencil.

For a Play Center we had a party!

Indoor recess can sometimes be a challenge. It's been so cold outside we have been stuck inside. These kids have really made the best of their indoor time. We have set up our own little play town. They use their imaginations and play well with each other.

The "Library Lady" visited this week. We always have fun with her songs and stories. Make sure to watch the video Mrs. Misty posted on our Facebook group.

Next week our shape is CIRCLE again. Please, work at home with your little ones to spot colors and circles around the house. We will continue reviewing colors as while we are learning new shapes.

Open registration starts very soon. Make sure to take advantage of current student early pre-registration. Once registration is open to the public, spots will fill up fast!

Thank you for sharing your little ones with us!
