Busy Little Elves in the YC- Teacher Meghan

It was another festive week at Small Friends as our "little elves" wrapped presents for their families, made jingle bell bracelets for the Winter Program and played with toys and friends.
  
At the light table this week we had clear plastic ornaments and a variety of red and green items the kids could stuff inside the ornaments and then pull them back out with tweezers. The kids loved this holiday themed fine motor activity.





At the building table we had the North Pole set up and the kids had so much fun playing with Santa and his friends.




 We had bears and boats in the water tub this week. The kids especially loved filling and dumping the giant water pitchers we had available.



Green play dough was perfect for making cookies and cupcakes.



Red and green magnetic wands with a variety of magnetic objects was an exciting new twist in the texture table.


We love teaching the kids games as one of our table activities and then having the games available for the kids to play later in the week during free play. The Candy Land Castle Game and the Bear Hibernation Game were both very popular this week.







 The kids had so much fun decorating gift bags and wrapping presents for their families this week.





Each of the children made a jingle bell bracelet that they will use during the Winter Program next Thursday. We can't wait for the kids to show you all the fun songs and poems they have learned during the first half of their school year.



Mabel receives so many snuggles and treats from the class. She loves all the attention.



The book nook is a popular spot to snuggle up and look at books.




We love watching the kids in action as they play together in the classroom.



At circle time this week their was a silly ginger bread eating monkey, a bear hunt, a new song about an umbrella and many fun holiday books.




It was a WET week but we made it outside one day to play in the rain.


We are really looking forward to celebrating with you on Thursday during our Winter Program. We have had such a fun start to the school year with your amazing kids!
Hugs,
Meghan and Christine
