We have been super busy these past few weeks! My friends have been having a great time building with all kinds of materials--foam blocks...
Natural Tree blocks, which add another dimension to building because all the sides aren't straight...
Our sensory table has been full of sparkly white "snow" and jingle bells of all different sizes.
They collected and sorted (and sometimes hoarded!) the jingle bells...
We dropped the snow, which really falls like real snow.
We decorated our tree with our favorite things... pictures of our pumpkins. They loved finding their pictures and moving them around to a different place every day.
We made paper chains--remember those?
Dramatic play is always fun. Just ask the reindeer...
And guess who this one is!
We made gingerbread houses out of boxes and decorated them fantastically.
We celebrated the 50th anniversary of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by having Ms. Amy (the other Ms. Amy) come and read to us. Also, the newspaper was there to take pictures.
We found a friend out in the garden.
We did a little dreidel spinning.
We had some of our families come and share their own traditions with us, and found out that even though we celebrate different holidays, we all kind of do the same things...spend time with friends and family, eat special foods, light candles and decorate, and sometimes give each other gifts. Isn't that nice? I certainly think so.
