Friday, February 10

We had some new activities--and some old favorites--at our morning work tables today.  Some of us used our magnet bars to explore our magnet jars (plastic jars/bottles filled with pipe cleaner bits or iron filings) while others worked our finger muscles by popping bubble wrap squares.  We've also gotten creative at our coloring/cutting/taping table.  Today we had masks, puppets, and Valentine cards ready to go before our 9:15 clean-up time.





One of the reasons we love Fridays is because Miss Caitlin comes for music.  Today we sang a Valentine song, H-E-A-R-T, to the tune of B-I-N-G-O and danced with streamers.  If you click on the links below the picture, you can see and hear us!






Before we had center we enjoyed the healthy snack that Brooke brought in to share.  We had yoghurt, strawberries, and blueberries!  We ate every bit! 


At centers today, we worked on a Valentine gift for our parents with Mrs. Hennessy--here are a couple of sneak peek photos!  As each of us finished, we went to play in our Valentine sensory tub.  In addition to the popcorn (that we know we cannot put in our mouths!) there are hearts, red beans, rose petals, and Valentine erasers hidden in there.





We had a new toy to play with at Miss Kathleen's center.  We used beads and necklaces to create designs at a light table.  We loved the way the colors changed when we stacked the beads--and the cool patterns we could make.





At our last center we had our Little People tubs out on the rug.  If we didn't want to play with our Little People, we also had the choice of one of the games at our game table.
