Last week was full of exciting activities. Our 50th day of school celebration included many fun and exciting activities including: root beer floats, a sock hop, putting 50 items on a large number 50 and counting a variety of 50 objects. Everyone looked so great in their 50's attire.
We also had our Hibernation Celebration. The children had fun all week talking about hibernation, making their cave/den and the most fun of all wearing pajamas to school. On Thursday we played with our bears, had a Teddy Bear picnic while we watched a brief movie about hibernation and winter and then put our bears to sleep for their long winter nap. While the children were watching the movie St. Nicholas visited and left little surprises in everyone's shoes.
Next week we will continue our discussion of winter and move into the holidays. We have several snowman crafts planned. The children will completing projects that they will bring home as holiday gifts. We will also be working on making "snow" play-doh malls that match a certain number. On Thursday, December 13th we will have our holiday celebration, the a.m. class will have their party from 10:00-11:00 and the p.m class will have their party from 1:30-2:30. Parents you are welcome to attend the party and join in on the fun. If you will be attending the party and then will be taking your child home after the party please notify the bus drivers because some buses have few students on them and therefore would not need to make a preschool run to pick up the children at Hilton if they will be going home with a parent.
The week of Dec. 17-19 is our last week of school before winter break. We are going to be doing an activity with our Third Grade Buddies and a Pete the Cat story on December 17th. On December 18th we are going to have a Christmas around the world celebration with the other preschool classrooms so the children will have the opportunity to visit other preschool classrooms and learn how different countries and cultures celebrate the holiday season. On Wednesday, Dec. 19th it will be Polar Express day. We will be participating in several Polar Express themed activities as well as watching some of the movie. Please make sure to wear pajamas to school on Dec. 19th, everyone who rides the Polar Express is wearing their pajamas.
School will resume on Wednesday, January 2nd. Please have a happy and safe holiday season.
