"Inside" Underwater

We are sure you have noticed our obsession with underwater life! We love sharks, fish, dolphins, star fish, and so much more. We are using the underwater life to help teach us our numbers, colors, letters, and to inspire our art! Look at the photos of us here...............

We are drawing marine life, and painting water for them to live in!

Shapes, Colors, and Counting

We love doing art projects!

In this project while we were gluing we........

• Counted how many pieces of paper we used
• We said the colors of each thing we glued
• And, we even started noticing our shapes!

Making Snow

We love reading about snowmen and snow, so after our snowmen were made, we just HAD to make snow for them!

Happy New Year!

Thank you to all of our parents for making our Winter Festival such a success! We had a wide variety of international foods and we reached our goal for "snow contributions!" Thank you to all of our parents who donated baked goods and money. A special thanks to the two parents who made $200 contributions each!! The kids had so much fun playing in the snow, we are already looking forward to next year!

Snowflakes and Snowmen

We are reading so many different books about winter. So far our favorite book is Millions of Snowflakes by Mary McKenna Siddals.










We love to count along with the book, and copy all of the things the book talks about!

We all sat down to paint SNOWMEN! We each chose our colors and practiced making "circles"!

When we were done painting, we used yarn to make "mouths" and glued eyes on our snowmen!

Our masterpiece will be hanging in the hallway this week! ;0)

The International Winter Festival

Our International Winter Festival will be held on December 18th at 3:00 pm.

Ice Express will be there to blow 10,000 pounds of snow for the children to play in!

We will also have our "Taste of Food From Around the World".

Parents, please check your email, or look by the check in computer for a letter with more details on the festival!

If you have questions, feel free to ask Maryam!

Bowls

Lets see what we can do with these................ They are great for putting things in.............

You can even dump stuff out and pour them in another.............

We can count them and tell you what colors they are......................

When you have had a hard day, they are great for sitting and resting on..........................

Ah ha! The funnest thing is wearing them as hats!!!!!!!

But after a while, CamRen let us all know that we needed to wear the "real" hats, not the bowls as hats! ;0)
