We started working on a snow globe craft. We glued cotton balls and snowflakes to our paper. Then, we added silver glitter. Next week we will add to our snow globes.
We did some fine motor practice this week. It's so fun to see how well are little ones are doing with their fine motor skills.
This week we continued to celebrate the chilly weather.
One of our songs was Put on Your Shoes.
We made puffy snow scenes this week. We used a mixture of shaving cream and glue to make puffy paint. Our little ones loved saying "dab, dab, dab" as they painted their scenes.
To practice our fine motor skills we practiced filling our snowman bottles with mini marshmallows. We also had some disappearing marshmallows. All they left behind were smiles!
It was a chilly week outside. We had fun with a winter theme.
Lots of information came home in binders this week:
- Monday toddler time will not meet next week due to the Martin Luther Kind Jr. Holiday.
- Registration form for the 2014-2015 school year went home this week. Please turn those in as soon as possible to reserve your spot in Jump Start for next year. There are a limit number of spots available. We will be opening up outside registrations soon!
- Home for Your Heart School has a new phone number 812-612-0532
One of our books this week was Winter.
One of our songs was Little Snowflake.
We painted polar bears with our hands this week. Our little ones are really getting comfortable having messy paint on their hands. Lots of them are also eager to help clean up the table after craft time!
We used cotton swabs to paint dots on paper mittens. We folded the paper in half and squished them together to make a matching set of mittens. All our little ones were very eager to paint and choose different colors.
One of our songs this week was We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
We decorated gingerbread men this week. We used our fine motor skills to sprinkle glitter on our little cookies.
We also practiced our fine motor skills with the North Pole. We used a straw in play doh for our pole. We practiced placing pasta on the pole. It was hard work, but our little ones made lots of progress. They were proud of their work. There was lots of clapping!
We have been practicing our songs for the Christmas program. Our program will be at 10:30 on December 18. Monday and Tuesday classes will need to arrive in the classroom at 10:00 on the day of the program. We will perform first. The children will be dismissed to you from the stage so you can watch the rest of the show together.
