Monday, January 9

We had two silly upside-down switches during our calendar time today.  When we counted and turned over the number 9 for our date, our helper kept flipping it upside down and back again to turn it into a 6 and then back to a 9.  Then we read a book about a snowman from our Winter box of books and asked Miss Kathleen to turn it upside down so the W on the back turned into an M.  We had a lot of fun switching!

We're working on our Winter Unit right now, so you'll be seeing lots of snowmen, snowflakes, winter books (marked with a W on the back), and penguins!  These are the snowmen that we made on Friday that are hanging up in the room. 



In our centers today we played with our small blocks and our puppets in the dollhouse at our rug center.  We had lots of puppet friends visiting one another in that dollhouse!  At Mrs. Hennessy's center we made snowmen.  Since we didn't have any snowballs, we used cotton balls instead!  Miss Kathleen helped us at the writing center.  We took turns using the chalkboards and the markers.  All of us practiced at least some of the letters in our names.






After we finished our centers we went out to the playground to enjoy the beautiful weather.  Some of us decided to put on a show.  We climbed on top of the boat and used it as our stage.  We even had some of the 2s stop by for a look at our singing and dancing!
