We had a silly, mixed-up day today! First our friends came to our room to practice Feliz Navidad. Today our boys wore their sombreros and our girls used their maraca shakers while we sang (and danced!) Next Miss Megan came and we had more wonderful music before going outside and having our delicious healthy snack.
We were ready for some hard work and play at our centers. We had our horses and our Nativity at our rug center again today--and our horses again spent some time visiting the stable. We did some messy shaving cream and glitter at Mrs. Hennessy's center. Some of us were a little hesitant about mixing these two things together, while others jumped right in! At Miss Kathleen's center we made sticker pictures of the Nativity--and sang our "Knock, Knock, Knock Went Joseph" song while we worked. (You can hear a very short clip of this below!)
