What a great return after a wonderful break! It was so nice to see everyone again and to know how excited they all were to come back! We started the week off by talking about our vacation and the New Year. We enjoyed talking about all the fun we had in the snow and all the presents that Santa brought. I heard that for the New Year there were lots of balloons, confetti and hats to celebrate with. Here is preschool, we thought it would be fun to create New Year fireworks using combs, hairbrushes, paints and glitter! Needless to say, the kids thought it was so neat to use other tools to paint with, other than paint brushes. This week we focused on the letter W, for winter and walrus. We all enjoyed learing fun facts about the walrus and then created our own walrus paper bag puppets. As always, I like to jazz things up a bit and find creative ways to form our letters. We used tissue paper and glue to make our W, starting always at the top! We then decorated them with winter themed stickers. Since we entered this new season of winter, I thought it would be fun to graph our favorite season. Overall, it may have been a short week but still a fun week. Enjoy your weekend!
