Holiday Happiness in the YC - Teacher Christine

It was wonderful to welcome everyone back from a long weekend break. The children enjoyed all of the holiday themed fun that we had out for them this week!

On Tuesday, we decorated bear cut outs with coffee grounds.  The children had fun painting on glue and sprinkling coffee grounds on their "furry" bears. These are hanging in the hallway and look oh so cute.



At our math and science table the children worked on shape and color recognition as they decorated a little tree with different shaped button ornaments.




On Thursday, we started a top secret holiday gift making project! :)





The children were delighted by our Candy Land shape game. 




We filled the water tub with cars, trucks, scrubbers and soapy water. They had a lot of fun at the car wash!





We had pretty trees to decorate at the light table.


The play dough station was quite popular this week.



They LOVED playing with candy builders at the building table!




This week was full of fun, imaginative play all around the room.










At circle time we sang songs about hibernation and the classic song, Jingle Bells. We also learned a song about the weather and learned how to sign the words umbrella, rain, thunder, and lightning in ASL.

We read Ten Gingerbread Men and There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell along with a funny book about kittens in winter. We also enjoyed a beautiful pop up book about animals in winter.


We learned a new winter yoga series and sang a cute song about a teddy bear.


Recess in the cold is fun!


Next week we continue with more winter and holiday fun!

Warmly,
Christine and Meghan
