Week of January 27

Our book this week seemed fitting for all the weather lately. We read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.

We made a Snowy Day scene for our art project. We painted with Qtips and a shaving cream/glue mixture. They turned out so cute.

Week of January 20

Once again a holiday and snow kept us home from school some this week. We were still able to have some fun with our Wednesday group this week.

If you have not turned in your enrollment form for the 2014/2015 school year at Home for Your Heart School, now is the time! Open enrollment starts on the 23rd. Contact the school as soon as possible to secure a spot for next year, or enroll online at http://homeforyourheartschool.blogspot.com/ click on the "Join Our HFYH Family" tab.

Our book this week was Animals Hide and Seek. We had fun searching to find the missing animals. We revisited one of our favorites, The Animal Sounds Song. Our little ones are growing and changing before our eyes. They are all getting more chatty! They are making lots of animal sounds along with the song.



We practiced our fine motor skills with large blocks today. We practiced fitting the blocks together, and building towers. We also practiced helping to pick them up and put them away.

Snack time is a very popular time in class. This week we had pretzels while we sat at the table and watched some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Our prayer before snack is "God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for our food. Amen". They are getting better at folding their hands and joining us with an Amen!

Week of January 13

It was good to finally get back to school! We missed all our little ones. We hope your families had a great Christmas!

Our little ones got right back in to our routine this week without missing a beat. We added a couple of new friends as well. 

Our books this week was Hello Winter. We painted a mitten using lots of colors; red, yellow, pink, blue, orange, white, and green. We pressed the painted mitten with a plain one to create a matching pair. Make sure to check them out in the hallway!

We added a new song this week. Here is a video for Deep and Wide.

To practice our fine motor skills, we worked with sprinkles. We took small pipe cleaner pieces and inserted them in the holes of containers. We filled them out and dumped them back out again. Everyone was concentrating on the task.

Here are a few pictures of Bubble Time!
