Dancing into the new year...

  This week we were excited in our classroom as we received some new items! Our hopscotch mat was a huge hit and everyone has had fun playing on it this week.
We practiced dancing with scarves both individually and in groups with our larger dance canopies. Everyone loved all the colors and how the scarves floated in the air for a moment when you let them go.
  Some of the students loved to make waves with their dance canopy while others used them to hide underneath and have them float down on top of them.
  We retold the story of "The Mitten" by Jan Brett using puppets. "The Mitten" is a story about a boy who has lost one of his white mittens in the snow. The forest animals then find it and all try to squeeze inside. Everyone loved how  all the animals fit into the "GREAT WHITE SHINY MITTEN" until it was so full that the bear sneezed and everyone flew out!  We then enjoyed lacing our own mittens.
  We had our first assembly this month and I would like to congratulate everyone who has been reading!!! Keep up the great work. We are up to 4 520 minutes after the months of November and December!!! Way to go Pre-K!
