Wednesday, December 3

Poor Miss Paula!  She was sick today and she missed a lot of fun!  Miss Lesley came in to help us with our Morning Work after carpool, then Miss Amanda joined us for the rest of the day.  Because it was foggy outside, we read Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and then went on a Rudolph walk outside.  Miss Kathleen held up a red flashlight that we had to make sure to follow as we walked around in the fog and looked at all of the Christmas decorations around the school.

After our walk, it was time for music with Miss Jenna.  We did such a good job with our songs that we got to use the bells to sing Jingle Bells!  

At centers today, we played with our set of horses and Lincoln Logs on the rug.  We built some horse pens and stables to help keep the horses safe.  At Miss Amanda's center we used the white boards to practice drawing faces and to show Miss Amanda how well we're learning to write our names. At Miss Kathleen's center we used eye droppers and coffee filters to start making a special Christmas flower called a poinsettia.  We'll finish these on Friday when they're dry.

Finally at the end of the day we watched the end of Spookley, the Square Pumpkin.  We know it's not Halloween anymore, but we've been so busy doing other things that we just didn't have time to watch the end.  We were glad to see that Spookley saved the day and got to be a very special pumpkin on the farmer's porch!
