Enjoy Your Break!

I was hoping to post today about our fun Winter Parties, but bummer, we weren't there!  I hope you all enjoyed the snow today and your little ones got to have some fun.  Thank you to everyone who sent in items for the party, and we will do some of those activities when we come back in January.

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and I hope you all get to spend some fun family time together over the break.  I will see you and your kiddos in January!

Christmas Fun

Today we had a fun trip to The Essex of Grain Valley Assisted Living Facility to sing Christmas Carols.  We've been practicing our songs all week, and the kids were excited to perform them this morning.  Here are some pictures and a video of our trip!

A few friends on the bus ride (sometimes that is exciting in itself!):

 Some of our class and others from our school waiting for the show to start:

Our first song, Jingle Bells (The facility was not very large, so our students were pretty packed in there, and our class is toward the back, so you can't get a good view of all of the kids...sorry!):

In addition to our Christmas songs, we've been doing some fun learning activities with our themes of Winter and Christmas.  We practiced cutting skills snipping coffee filters into snowflakes.  We practiced spelling and/or writing our names when we made snowmen out of the letters in our names.  We practiced identifying longer and shorter by sequencing strips of paper by size and making cute Christmas trees.  Here are some pictures of a few of us counting marshmallows as "snowflakes" onto our numbered snowmen.
