Carly created a bug and its habitat

Aiden is such a good BIG brother....

He was so gentle and sweet

 with the babies... feeding them and changing diapers

So sweet to see the children taking

 such good care of the babies

Starting a sign up sheet because dramatic play was already full and

Wyatt wanted a turn

I brought the class over to dramatic play to show them the new things

I brought from my house... lots of baby things, stroller, changing table, car seat,

etc..... everyone was very interested!

Ella did a great job pointing to each letter.

Handwriting without tears...

Mystery bag... I put one of every letter we have learned so far in the 

mystery bag. Each child got to pull a letter out of the bag and tell us

the name and then Ella (who's job was to be the teacher assistant and point to the letters)

got to point to the letters as each friend pulled one out of the mystery bag

Guess we didnt get any of snack🤣

Weather Helper....

STORY TIME

OUTSIDE...

If the children can zipper their own coats...they get to put their picture on the ZIPPER

Chart..... the kids are very motivated to learn to zipper to put their picture on the chart

Getting ready to go outside

We learned about the wisemen and how God put a special star in the sky

for them to follow. We also learned that Jesus wasn't a bay when the wisemen

came to visit. He was maybe 2 or 3 years old. They brought gifts.

tomorrow we will learn what gifts the wisemen brought

Jesus Time

I first told the children we were going to hear about

a shape... a very special shape..

this shape has 5 points.... and let them guess

their favorite part of Christmas break

They did a great job of listening to each other
