Holiday Happenings, December 2018: 4's

Decorating for the Holidays:  This activity of gluing Christmas colored circles on red poster board was a huge hit.  It was such a fun relaxing time with exclamations of "I love this!" and "Can we do this again?"  Both groups enjoyed it so much I think we might just have to!

This class made gingerbread men also, but these were handmade and decorated ornaments to hang on their Christmas tree!

November Happenings - 4's

Turkey Letters - our new manipulative alphabet for November!  The first thing they did was work together to put the letters in alphabetical order.  It was their idea and they did it all on their own!😊

We enjoyed an activity on the interactive tv as we learned about forest animals.

We learned that owls have very good hearing so we played a game "Owl" Find You.  Each person had a great time trying to find the classmate that rang some bells while the "guesser" wasn't looking.  We decided owls have better hearing than we do!

There were a lot of wet days and we couldn't go outside.  We had no problem finding ways to occupy our time.  This group shared Show and Tell on the enclosed porch,

and played Duck, Duck Goose - one of their favorites on a rainy day.

Both 4's classes celebrated Thanksgiving with a party and a play.

The most adorable first Thanksgiving!
